Here Is How You Can Get Rid Of Your Clutter For Free!

Orange residents have two more convenient ways to get rid of bulky household items no longer needed as the dates for the kerb-side bulky-waste pick-up, and a free drop-off voucher system for the Resource Recovery Centre are announced.
Orange Mayor Reg Kidd said in addition to a kerb-side, bulky- waste collection scheduled to occur on set dates in the coming weeks, residents could also pick-up a voucher from Council’s customer service desk to take a ute load, or a box trailer load of household items to the Ophir Road Resource Recovery Centre for free, on any day until June 30, 2021.
“Residents have already paid for a household bulky-waste collection service, which will occur in the next few weeks as part of their rates during this financial year,” Cr Kidd said.
“This was a decision of the Council made earlier in 2020, and was championed strongly by Councillors Romano and Preveteria.

“That bulky-waste collection will occur in the next few weeks from Sunday January 31, if you live east of Anson Street. If you live west of Anson Street your bulky-waste collection service will occur from Sunday February 14.
“Please only put household items out for collection on these set dates, staff will only visit each property once.
“On top of the household bulky waste collection service, each Orange residence is entitled to one voucher which allows a person to take a ute load, or a box trailer load of household items to the Ophir Road Resource Recovery Centre, on any day, until June 30.

We’re doing this to make the service available to as many residents as possible. We know not everyone has access to a ute or trailer and we know not everyone is available on the set weekends to put their unwanted items out the front of their home.
The voucher scheme was established following a notice of motion from Cr Kevin Duffy.
“The voucher scheme means people can clean-out their sheds or garages at a time which is convenient to them,” Cr Duffy said.
