Home » Sydney Council Rubbish Collection » Burwood Council Junk Collection

Burwood Council provides residents with three annual free kerbside collection for unwanted bulky household junk that are too big to fit into their wheelie bin. One is a scheduled date set by the Burwood Council and the other two is a booked date (one is for household waste and the other is strictly for garden waste only).

Scheduled dates are generally notified by sending a mail to your home address to inform you two weeks prior to the date of the free scheduled collection date. Be sure to keep an eye out for this if you are planning to get rid of some bulky household junk.

Booking dates can be done online via a form or over the phone to the council directly. You will need to specify the type of junk that you would like to get rid of. There are additional costs involved if you would like to throw away more junk than the amount specified. However, the type of items that they collect will remain the same. If you are seeking to dispose of garbage that isn’t accepted by the Burwood Council, you will need to find an alternative.

Local recycling facilities near the Burwood district is also a useful way to dispose of your unwanted household rubbish in an environmentally way. However, the downfalls of this are that you will need to pay a fee to use the facility, sort out the rubbish and transporting it there yourself.

Using a rubbish removal service is another alternative to your free kerbside collection in Burwood. Services such as Paul’s Rubbish Removal provide quick and easy solutions to your junk disposal. These services will generally accept items that aren’t collected by the Burwood Council and are much more flexible to get the job done that is most convenient for you.
