Strathfield Council
Junk Collection

The removal of bulky household goods can be collected by the Strathfield Council up to 3 times per year. Residents must log in for an online booking or call Strathfield Council Customer Service on 9748 9999 to arrange a collection date. The free rubbish removal service from the council allows a maximum of 2 cubic metres.

If your household furniture or goods are still in condition, then you should consider donating, recycling or getting The Bower’s Collection and Rehoming Service to collect the items for free for Strathfield residents. The home program aims to help those in need within the community.

The Strathfield Council will collect and dump your oversized junk at a landfill. It is best to avoid throwing waste into a tip due to its environmental effects. Waste at a landfill releases methane, a greenhouse gas that is bad for the atmosphere.

How to prepare for Strathfield Council kerbside pick up

Household items accepted by Strathfield Council

There are a handful of items that the Strathfield Council accepts during the annual garbage clean up. This is because the waste is taken to a landfill for disposal; hence, any dangerous waste will contaminate the site. Make sure that they fall under one of the following categories:

• White goods – fridges, dishwasher, washing machine
• Electronic waste – television, computer
• Small garden waste – leaves, prunings, branches (up to 1 metre in length)
• Household metals – sporting equipment, barbeques, swing sets (disassembled)
• Furniture – tables, chairs, cabinets, shelves, mattresses (up to 2 per collection)

Household items not accepted by Strathfield Council

The following items are strictly prohibited by the Strathfield Council for rubbish collection. If found in the pile, they will be left behind. They can be considered as illegal dump if no one retrieves it from the side of the road which may lead you into trouble.

• Building and industrial material
• Demolition waste
• Hazardous waste – asbestos, chemicals, gas bottles, paint
• Car parts – engine, motor oil, tyres
• Glass – bottles, mirrors, glass tables
