CHANGES TO WASTE SERVICES FROM 1 JULY 2024
Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) is making changes to the way residents access the tipping voucher program and the bulky rubbish collection service from 1 July 2024.
The bulky rubbish collection service will move to a pre-booked service throughout the year, available to residences with two or three bin services. Whilst the annual tipping voucher for residents will be available to download online prior to visiting a waste facility.
“Both the tipping voucher program and the bulky rubbish collection service will still be available to the community just the process to book these services is changing,” Dubbo Regional Council’s Manager of Resource Recovery and Efficiency, Jamie Lobb, said.
“The changes to the bulky rubbish collection service are part of a 12-month trial and we hope that this allows the community to access the service at a time that is convenient to them.”
Residents can place up to one box-trailer of rubbish on the kerbside the Sunday before their booked collection date. A collection cannot be conducted without a booking.
“The change to the bulky rubbish collection service is aimed at increasing flexibility for the community to be able to utilise the service at a time that suits them throughout the year” Mr Lobb said.
The annual tipping voucher program will also move to an online booking system with the voucher to be downloaded by the resident prior to a visit to a waste facility.
Residents with a two or three bin service can also utilise their tipping voucher and dispose of up to one cubic metre (max. 300kg) once a year. Tipping vouchers can be used for green waste, concrete and mixed general waste. Items not accepted include mattresses, tyres, hazardous materials, solar panels or asbestos.
