Chief Minister Stanhope has announced that there will be a free “bulky waste collection service” for those fortunate enough to hold a Centrelink Pensioner Concession Card, ACTION Gold Concession Card or Department of Veterans Affairs Gold Card.
A fee based system will operate for the rest:
Certain, eligible households will be entitled to one free collection during the trial period. Other households will incur a fee based on the condition and ability to reuse the waste items.
Items that will be accepted during the trial are household furniture and appliances, mattresses, garden tools and equipment, timber, white goods/sinks/baths, building materials and metal products/scrap metal. A number of exclusions apply.
Items that will not be accepted include garden waste, food waste, sheet glass, mirrors, household chemicals or hazardous waste, building waste.
Mr Stanhope also announced that the contracts for the service had been awarded to Goran Srejic, trading as Tiny’s Green Shed.
The trial will run for a year from 27 April,
