Free bulky waste drop off day

Published on 05 September 2018

I invite Fairfield City residents to once again take up the opportunity to dispose of unwanted bulky household items for free during Council's Spring Clean Drop-off Day.

We want to reduce illegal dumping on our streets by offering this extra service that is additional to our kerbside collections, recycling service and chemical drop-off days. We recognise that fees for the tip can be expensive so we have introduced a range of ways you can dispose of rubbish the right way, for free.

The 2018 Spring Clean will be held at Fairfield Showground this Sunday and due to its popularity in past years, we have extended the hours from 7am to 3.30pm.

This initiative has been put in place to help you remove old and unused bulky waste items around your home, free of charge. I encourage you to load up your boot or trailer with items such as household furniture, small kitchen appliances and general garden waste and take them to Fairfield Showground.

Last year almost 1,600 residents dropped off more than 150 tonnes of bulky waste, which helped to reduce litter and dumped rubbish on our streets.

Our city belongs to all of us. We have a responsibility to work together to keep our streets clean. That's why Council has put on these extra services to help keep our city clean.

A pamphlet will be in your letterbox with information about the Spring Clean Drop-off Day. You can also contact us on 9725 0222.
