Waste management is a crucial aspect of community living, and it requires everyone to do their part. If you want to be a part of a responsible society, you must understand your options for efficient waste disposal. Here we discuss the various options for rubbish removal in Sydney, highlighting just how many ways there are to remove rubbish and waste.
Weekly Rubbish Removal
As a household in Sydney, you’re used to weekly waste collections as provided by the local council. The purpose of this service is to maintain a consistent uplift and removal of general waste, recycling, and green waste. The council sets a schedule for households to follow so they know precisely when to place their bins curbside for collection.
The benefit of this is consistency and reliability. You can maintain household hygiene because the council provides a reliable, consistent service that prevents rubbish build-up. These regular pickups reduce the risk of pests and also deal with unpleasant odours.
As important and useful as these council pickups are, there are limitations. Yes, the council will collect your household waste, and remove certain recyclables, and green waste. There is generally a cap on the volume of waste they will uplift. This varies by council but runs between 80 and 120 litres for red-lidded rubbish bins. If you produce more waste than this, you need an alternative rubbish pickup service. There is also a limit on the type of materials the council will pick up. If you have e-waste, construction debris, hazardous materials, or bulk items, these require special removal.
Council Pickup Services
In addition to weekly rubbish removal, the council does provide special uplift services. If you have bulky or large items unsuitable for the weekly service, you can schedule a separate uplift. Each council has different rules around this, with some limiting homeowners to one special pickup per calendar year, whereas others may limit it to three times annually.
All you need to do is contact your local council office to schedule a special pickup or use the website. The type of waste suitable for pickup through this service includes small household appliances, furniture, mattresses, garden refuse, electronic waste and white goods. They typically limit what they collect and will not remove chemicals, hazardous materials or building waste in a curbside pickup. For example, they’re not going to clean up after a renovation.
The benefit of using the council-provided service is it’s cost-effective. It’s generally free, or at least covered by your council rates. It’s also environmentally responsible because the council will follow the regulations surrounding waste disposal. It’s also convenient, provided you can get the waste curbside. Of course, the disadvantage is not everyone can move the waste curbside, there are volume limitations on this service, you will have to deal with a waiting period, and it’s only available a set number of times. Additionally, there are certain waste types the council will not collect, which means you still need to deal with disposal.
Private Rubbish Removal Services
The final type of rubbish removal service is private companies. Many private companies offer their services, allowing you to tailor your waste solutions to your needs. This provides you with a flexible alternative to the two council services. Private companies cater to a variety of waste disposal needs, from construction waste uplift, commercial clearouts, deceased estates cleanups, and household cleaning sprees.
The benefits of using a private rubbish removal service include a custom schedule – in many cases, you can opt for same-day rubbish removal. If same-day isn’t available, most can assist within a day or whenever is convenient for your schedule. They also handle a wider variety of waste types, including construction debris, office clear-outs, landscaping waste and debris, e-waste, and certain hazardous items. Like the council, these teams are highly trained to ensure the waste is disposed of responsibly and legally.
Private companies also respond quickly to demand. At least, compared to the council, which often has restrictions on scheduling for many reasons. If you have a sudden or urgent need for waste disposal, a private company will meet your needs quicker than the council.
