Guides: the answers we give on the phone, written down
Plain English, clear steps, no sales pitch. These are the questions Chatswood households actually ask us, answered the way we answer them in a kitchen.
Clearing bulky items from a Lower North Shore apartment tower: lifts, docks and who to ask
Clearing a sofa or a whole flat out of a Chatswood, St Leonards or Artarmon tower starts with the building, not the council. Willoughby's free collection services pick up from the kerb, so the lift, the dock and everything in between run on your building's own arrangements, which differ from tower to tower. Our new guide covers who to ask, what council won't take and where the rest goes.

What the free kerbside service does well, its real limits, and when a paid crew is genuinely the better answer.
