Pre Wet Season Disposal Fee Waiver

The pre-cyclone clean-up will take place at the Waste Management Facility on Saturday, 15 November and Saturday, 29 November 2025, from 8 am to 2 pm allowing Katherine residents to safely dispose of a designated number of large household items at no cost over those two days.

Mayor Joanna Holden said the program is designed to help keep people safe in dangerous weather events.

“These large items can be hazardous in severe storms or floods,” she said. “By offering free disposal days before the wet, Council is giving residents a practical way to tidy up and make their properties safer.”

The pre-cyclone season clean-up offers a free disposal option for select household items that would normally incur a disposal fee. Household limits apply to ensure all residents can take part:

• Non-degassed fridges – up to two per household

• Gas cylinders – up to three per household

• Fire extinguishers – up to three per household

• Mattresses – up to two per household

• Couches – up to one per household
