City of Parramatta — clean-up & illegal dumping

Residents who receive a City of Parramatta domestic waste service can use kerbside bulky waste clean-ups. Depending on your address, collections are either pre-booked (up to four times per calendar year) or at scheduled times. Confirm which applies via the contractor portal or by phone.

Official clean-up services Illegal dumping

Booking (pre-booked areas)

Book online via Council’s contractor portal, or call Veolia on 1300 580 811.
Next available day may be up to about four weeks away — book early if you are moving.
Multi-unit dwellings: call Veolia to check eligibility.
Print/attach the Booked Clean Up sign so the pile is clearly marked.
Cancel at least two business days before the booked date (Veolia / online).

Presentation rules

Less than two cubic metres.
Stacked neatly, clear of roads and footpaths.
Able to be safely lifted by two people.
Placed out only the night before / the day before your booked date — not earlier. Council materials use both phrasings: the illegal-dumping page and waste calendar/brochure say night before; the clean-up “how to present” section also says day before. Putting items out earlier than allowed (or without a booking) is treated as illegal dumping.

Illegal dumping. Putting clean-up material out without a booking, or earlier than allowed, is treated as illegal dumping. Council states dumping costs the community over $800,000 a year, and those found guilty face fines or fees in excess of $500 and up to $250,000. Report dumped rubbish online or call 1300 617 058. Note time, date, location, and vehicle/plate details if safe to do so.
