Council clean-up rules last checked: June 2026.

Campbelltown City Council provides a kerbside bulky waste collection for all households. Each household gets 4 entitlements per calendar year. A single collection is 2m³ (2 metres wide x 1 metre high x 1 metre deep) and uses 1 entitlement. A double collection is 4m³ and uses 2 entitlements. Book online any time; you can secure a date up to 3 months in advance with no minimum lead time. General waste and metal items require separate bookings. Items placed out in the wrong category are left on the kerb without collection.

How to prepare for Campbelltown City Council Kerbside Pick Up

Follow these conditions to make sure your items are collected:

1. Book online or by phone before you put anything on the kerb. Placing items on the kerb without a booking is considered illegal dumping and penalties apply.
2. Book general waste and metal items under separate bookings. Items placed out in the wrong category will not be collected and require a separate booking.
3. Volume: a single booking covers 2m³ (2m wide x 1m high x 1m deep); a double booking covers 4m³. Only the booked volume will be collected.
4. Weight: items too heavy for two people to lift will not be collected.
5. Place items on the kerb by 6am on your scheduled collection day. Do not put them out more than 24 hours before.
6. White goods and hot water systems must have doors removed before collection.
7. Bag or box small items and stack everything neatly off the road and footpath.
8. Garden clippings must be under 15cm diameter, cut into 1m lengths, and tied into bundles.

How can I get rid of unaccepted household items in Campbelltown City Council?

Campbelltown Council clean-up vs Paul's Rubbish:

• Cost: the Council is entitlement-based with 4 entitlements per year; Paul's is paid, with a free upfront volume-based quote.
• Volume: the Council allows 2m³ single (1 entitlement) or 4m³ double (2 entitlements); Paul's has no practical limit.
• Booking categories: the Council requires separate bookings for general waste and metal; Paul's covers all item types in one job.
• Left-behind risk: the Council leaves items in the wrong category on the kerb; Paul's leaves nothing behind.
• Items not collected: the Council leaves glass, chemicals, car parts, building waste and items over 2m; Paul's takes most items the council won't.
• Lead time: the Council can be booked up to 3 months in advance with no same-day option; Paul's offers same-day service.

If you have items the council won't collect, including glass, chemicals, car parts, building offcuts, or loads that exceed your entitlement, Paul's Rubbish clears them same-day. No need to make separate metal and general waste bookings. No weight restrictions preventing collection. We recycle where possible rather than sending everything to landfill.

The Bower and The Australian Red Cross will accept mattresses and bulky white goods that are still in good condition to provide for those in need. Otherwise, taking them to a recycling facility to recondition or reproduce the product is a great way to preserve the ecosystem from litter and waste that can harm the development of the wildlife.

Campbelltown households have been calling Paul's for over 15 years. Public liability insured, 100% satisfaction guarantee, and over 400 Google reviews. Same-day service across all 36 Campbelltown suburbs, upfront free quotes, no job too large. Call 0407 125 125.
