Kerbside pickup or self-haul voucher · City of Newcastle
Newcastle residents can request a kerbside bulk-waste pickup or use a self-haul voucher instead of waiting for a neighbourhood collection. Search 50 council-area suburbs, understand the local allowance and continue to the official booking service.
How this service works
Residents can request two services—two pickups, two vouchers or one of each—within a rolling 12-month period. Each service covers up to 2 cubic metres of bulk waste, roughly a 6-by-4-foot box trailer loaded one metre high.
Council-area suburbs
A suburb listing shows council-area coverage, not automatic property eligibility. The official booking system makes the final address check.
