Clearing out on the Central Coast
Households can book up to six general or green waste bulk kerbside collections a year, each 2 cubic metres; book before putting anything out and put it out the night before (Central Coast Council). That makes a quick clear-out easier here than in most places.
Trucks and the road reserve
A Road Occupancy Licence is needed for works in the council road reserve that affect traffic, including a skip bin, and simple applications usually take 10 to 15 working days (Central Coast Council). In NSW a vehicle of more than 4.5 tonnes or 7.5 metres must not stop on a road in a built-up area for longer than an hour (NSW Government), so ask the removalist about truck size.
About 27.6% of the urban area's homes were rented at the 2021 Census (ABS). See house removals. Then request a quote.
