There are 2 free household junk collection each year provided by the Sutherland Shire Council. This must be booked by the residents either online or by contacting the council directly via the telephone. The bookings for the council pick up must be completed by an entitled resident in the Sutherland Shire Council as it is not offered in most areas of the Shire.

All household junk and waste collected by the Sutherland Shire Council is taken to a landfill to be disposed of. It is best to avoid using the landfill because of its negative impacts on the environment.

If they are can be recycled then taking it to your nearest recycling centre will help minimise the amount of waste that ends up in the landfill. Household items such as plastic and mobile phones can be disposed of and recycled.
