Annual rates notices will begin to arrive in mailboxes from mid to late August, so keep an eye out for yours.
We've partnered with UPPAREL to make it easier for Kingston residents to give their pre-loved clothing a second life.
Simply: 1. Pack your unwanted clothing into a box 2. Book your collection online 3. Leave your box at your front door for collection
UPPAREL will collect your box and pass any fit-for-wear items to charities or recycle damaged items by turning them into a new material that can be used to make a range of sustainable products.
Kingston residents are eligible for a discounted collection fee: ($5 off for first time use, must be a Kingston resident) 10kg box = $30 20kg box = $65

To donate, give away or sell clean items find your nearest Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree.
You can sell certain brands and designer clothes to Swop and Mutual Muse or list on specialised online clothing selling sites such as Depop, Yordrobe or Carousel.
Clothing can also be placed in your landfill bin (red lid).
