Singleton’s annual bulk waste collection returns 3 November – 12 December 2025.
A collection is available to households that pay for a Council waste service, providing the opportunity to dispose of bulkier waste items free of charge simply by placing them on the kerbside.
Collection will occur for localities across the Singleton local government area over a six-week period. To see this year’s collection schedule, guidelines + all terms and conditions, visit: www.singleton.nsw.gov.au/bulkwaste
Our collection service means you can put your unwanted bulky items on the kerb the week before your collection is scheduled. But just remember, leaving waste on the kerb outside of your collection period is illegal dumping and penalties may apply.

👉 Residents can place up to 2m3 of domestic waste (equivalent to 1.2m x 1.8m trailer loaded under 1m high) on the kerbside the week before their collection.
👉 Loose rubbish must be placed in bags or boxes and all items placed for collection should be capable of being loaded by hand by two adults (items under 40kg and less than 1.5m in length).
DON'T FORGET:
👉 Before you put your bulky waste on the kerb, why not turn your trash into cash (or bag yourself a bargain)?
