Central Coast Council has approved additional free kerbside bulk waste collections for residents impacted by recent flooding.
Eligible households in flood-affected areas will be entitled to eight extra bulk waste collections.
These are in addition to the standard six annual entitlements, bringing the total to 14 free collections per property.
Additional services have been automatically allocated to properties in known flood-impacted zones and are now visible in the 1Coast Bulk Waste booking system.
The impacted zones generally include properties that were inundated by floodwaters around the Tuggerah lakes system during the recent weather event.
The extra entitlements are available for use until February 1, 2026.
The initiative is part of Council’s ongoing commitment to supporting the community in its recovery from severe weather events.
Residents are reminded to continue booking their waste collections via the 1Coast website.
The standard bulk waste collection requirements still apply.
If you have been affected by flooding and do not see the additional eight entitlements in your property’s booking account, contact either 1Coast (email 1coast.com.au) or Council to have your request assessed.
Council customer service can be contacted on 1300 126 278 from 8am-5pm Monday to Friday.
