Goulburn Mulwaree Council will offer free household bulky waste disposal this coming weekend at the Waste Management Centres in Goulburn, Tarago and Marulan.
Residents of Goulburn Mulwaree will be able to dispose of bulky waste such as household furniture, green waste, cardboard and clean steel for free at the waste centres, with each property limited to two cubic metres of waste.
The same items that were previously accepted in the September clean up service will be accepted during the November disposal weekend. The items must be sorted so that recyclables such as green waste, steel and cardboard are placed in the appropriate areas at the waste centres.
Mayor Bob Kirk encouraged the community to get organised and take advantage of the disposal weekend.
"The free disposal weekends have proven to be very popular with residents over the last two years and we are anticipating another busy weekend," he said.
"During the recent May disposal weekend a number of residents used handyman services, assistance from neighbours, or community organisations to help transport their waste if required."
The Goulburn, Marulan and Tarago waste centres will be open from 7am to 4pm on Saturday November 2 and Sunday November 3.
For more information call the Waste Info Line on 4823 4417.
The following items are excluded from the November free disposal weekend:
- Any items with a per-item charge at Council's waste centres (e.g. mattresses, fridges/freezers/air-conditioners, tyres, animals)
- E-waste (e.g. televisions, computers, computer accessories)
- Hazardous waste (e.g. asbestos, paint, chemicals, batteries)
The annual Household Chemical CleanOut will be held on Saturday, December 7 from 8am to 12pm at the Goulburn Recreation Area, and from 2pm to 4pm at Tarago Waste Management Centre.
ON that weekend, you can take household quantities of the following household chemicals and items - up to a maximum of 20 litres or 20 kilograms of a single item, including solvents and household cleaners, floor care products, ammonia-based cleaners, pesticides and herbicides, poisons, pool chemicals, hobby chemicals, motor fuels, fluorescent globes and tubes, acids and alkalis, smoke detectors, paint and paint-related products, gas bottles, fire extinguishers, car and household batteries, motor oils and cooking oils.
