Clean up Australia Day

We welcome you to bring a variety of items for free disposal, including:

• Domestic waste
• Furniture
• E-waste (such as televisions, computers, printers, and other electrical items)
• Recyclables
• Garden organics
• Mattresses (limited to one per household)

If you have more than one mattress to dispose of, standard Council fees will apply, ensuring a straightforward process. The fees are as follows:

• Single mattress: $50.00 each
• Double, Queen, or King mattress: $65.00 each
• Mattress base: $20.00 each

Please remember that this event is exclusive to Upper Lachlan residents, so be sure to bring proof of residency like a current rate notice or driver’s license for verification when you arrive.

To ensure a safe and smooth disposal process, kindly note that items left behind for others to scavenge are not permitted, and we cannot accept the following items:

• Chemicals, paints, pesticides, poisons, cooking oil, liquids, smoke detectors, gas bottles, and fire extinguishers
• Tyres
• Asbestos

We’re also delighted to remind residents that throughout the year, several items can be taken to most Waste Management Centres free of charge, including:

• Scrap metal (fridges, freezers, washing machines, and more)
• Engine and hydraulic oil
• Car and truck batteries
• Plastic, glass, cardboard, and paper

Additionally, don’t forget that printer cartridges and mobile phones can be recycled at any Council office or participating Australia Post outlet, at no cost!

For more information about this wonderful waste disposal opportunity, please feel free to call the Council’s Water, Sewer, and Waste Division at 4830 1000.

Let’s come together to make a positive impact this Clean Up Australia Day! For more local events or to organize an event, check out the “Clean Up Australia Day” website. We can’t wait to see you there!
