6.4 Kerbside Bulk Waste Collection
Noosa Council reintroduced a long standing annual kerbside bulk waste collection service in 2014,
allowing residents to dispose up to 3 cubic metres of waste on the footpath for collection. (The
service had not been undertaken since 2009). The service is for bulky items such as discarded
white goods, furniture and electronic equipment generally used in a household. The kerbside
collection is for private houses and unit complexes only. Table 4 details the total bulk waste
collected. Although kerbside items can be collected by individuals and reused, unfortunately e-
waste, green waste and items which could be reused are currently sent to landfill due to mixing
and compacting during collection which contaminates reusable items.
Due to its popularity, Council will continue to provide a kerbside bulk waste collection service but
will examine ways to enhance recycling outcomes.
