Prepare for the annual November Bulky Waste Disposal Weekend
Goulburn Mulwaree Council is encouraging residents to begin to prepare for the free Bulky Household General Waste disposal weekend, which has been confirmed for Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 November 2023.
Waste Management Centres in Goulburn, Marulan and Tarago will be open from 7am to 4pm on both Saturday and Sunday to cater for the expected larger attendance.
Goulburn Mulwaree residents can dispose of up to two cubic metres of bulky household general waste (such as household furniture, garden organics, cardboard, and clean metal) per property, free of charge at Council's waste centres.
Mayor Peter Walker encouraged residents to plan ahead to take advantage of the November weekend.
“The household general bulky waste weekend is always a popular event, so I encourage you to get prepared now and to plan your trip ahead of time. We do expect the weekend to be busy, but we will have ample staff on site to keep things moving smoothly,” Cr Walker said.
All loads must be transported to one of Council's waste centres, and only domestic items will be accepted. Excludes hazardous materials such as asbestos or materials with a per-item charge at Council’s Waste Management Centres (e.g., mattresses, fridges, tyres etc.). Loads must be sorted so that recyclables such as garden organics, cardboard and clean metal can be placed in the appropriate areas at the waste centre, or charges will apply.
Residents must ensure they are able to unload their vehicles themselves, for example by ensuring more than one person attends for unloading.
