Metals and whitegoods collection

Metal & Whitegoods CollectionWhitegood's collection

Auburn City Council collects metal and whitegoods items such as water heaters, freezers, clothes dryers, ovens, guttering, fencing, fridges and washing machines.
 
Items that have a small amount of non-metal components may also be collected eg treadmills.
 
Please note that when placing fridges out on the footpath for collection, the fridge should either be placed face down or the doors removed - this is to avoid suffocation danger to children.
 
 
Collection Conditions:
§  Items MUST NOT be placed out EARLIER than the evening before the scheduled collection date.
§  Items MUST NOT be placed on the footpath, in driveways or anywhere that may cause obstruction
   to pedestrians or vehicles.
§  Items MUST be safely and neatly stacked near the kerb.
 
Items that do not fit the collection conditions will be treated as illegal dumping - items must either be removed or fines will apply.
