Waste & Recycling
Weekly Collections
Each rate-charged residential property in Willoughby has three different weekly waste collection services; the general waste garbage bin, the recycling bin, and the vegetation bin. Council provides one of these bins for each property.
Missed collection
If your garbage or recycling has not been collected by the day after the usual collection day, call Council on 9777 1000 to report the missed service. You will need to give us your name, address and contact phone number, and tell us which service was missed and where the bin is. To ensure that your garbage and recycling are collected as scheduled, please make sure you follow the correct procedures for sorting waste, and that your bins are able to be accessed by the garbage truck.
Quarterly Clean Up
Properties are also provided with four clean up services a year and the option of using the on call clean up service. This is so residents can get rid of bulky household items that can’t be collected by the weekly garbage pick-up, and so Council can recycle as much as possible. This service is only available on the stated dates, not on an ‘on call’ basis.
The pick-ups are divided into four quarters:
To find out the collection dates for your property, see our Clean Up Dates and search for your address.
