The BIG Ashfield Spring Clean

We are rolling out The BIG Ashfield Spring Clean across the District for the 8th year, starting on Monday 2 March 2026, as part of our commitment to make Ashfield a cleaner place to live, work and visit.

'Flying Skips' will be out and about across the District for you to dispose of extra waste, toys and bric-a-brac.

Our free bulky waste collection scheme will start again in April.
