Waste forms

Residents outside the waste collection service area can complete this form to obtain vouchers for their household waste & recycling (alternative waste and recycling arrangements).

Blue Disc Service is a special waste collection for people who are unable to present their bins (waste, recycling & organics) on the kerb for collection due to mobility issues. 

Use this form if you are holding an event and require additional bins. 

Charitable and not for profit organisations may use this form to apply for financial assistance for the disposal of waste at the Cessnock Waste Management Centre.

Cessnock City Council provides a weekly kerbside waste collection service to most households across the Cessnock Local Government Area. If your red-lid general waste bin is often mostly empty, you can choose to opt in to a fortnightly collection instead. Under this option, your red bin will be collected every second week, alternating with your recycling bin, and a new sticker will be applied to clearly identify your bin as part of the fortnightly service.

Residents who switch to fortnightly general waste collection will receive a pro-rata discount applied from their allocated start date. A minimum commitment of three months is required. To request a change to fortnightly waste collection, please complete the online Opt-In Fortnightly Waste Collection form via the link below.

Use this form to apply for paper waste and resource recovery vouchers if you do not have access to a smart phone/device or printer to access them digitally.

• Yellow lid (recycling)
