Under the agreement, Cleanaway will deliver general waste, recycling and green waste collection services as well as six free kerbside bulk waste collection services, per year, for each residence.

Cleanaway will also roll out 65,000 new 140-litre bins across the area.

Central Coast Council residents can expect minimal disruption from the change, as many of the team members from the previous contractor, Remondis, have joined the Cleanaway team, a spokesperson for the company said. 

The new fleet is fully equipped with Cleanaway’s Cleanaview system providing near real-time service information that allows for single-call customer service response and insights that will reduce contamination and improve recycling, the spokesperson said.

Cleanaway’s regional manager Sydney Municipal, Michael Sankey, said it was satisfying to start work in the region.

“We’re excited about getting started on the Central Coast after a period of extensive pre-contract preparation,” he said.

“It’s fostered a great working relationship and we’re looking forward to partnering with Central Coast Council to deliver a premium service for the next 10 years.”
