Pick Up FREE Items from the footpath

Our local council conducts clean up collections every year for removing bulky household items. I can't remember how many times a year they conduct these collections. I think it's about 3-4 times a year. Every household leaves their unwanted goods on the footpath for the council to pick up. Check your local council website or ring them to find out the clean up dates.

People also leave goods for pick-up when they move houses. So keep an eye on your neighbourhood.

The items may include:
  • furniture e.g. chairs/computer chairs, tables, beds, mattresses, sofas, etc
  • carpets
  • cloths
  • books
  • toys
  • kitchen utensils
  • fitness/sporting equipment such as exercise bikes, trampolines, bicycles, etc
  • white goods such as fridges, stoves, washing machines, etc
  • electronic goods such as TV’s, DVD players, video recorders, printers, computers etc.
