Details

Council is seeking tenders from suitably qualified chemical waste disposal service providers to orchestrate three two-day Household Chemical Cleanout (HCC) events each Financial Year, two at Blaxland Waste Management Facility and one at Katoomba Waste Management Facility.

The contract term is three years plus two one-year extensions at Council's discretion. The first HCC event in this term would be held in August 2027.

Background information / Compatibility requirements

Council offers the HCC events to allow residents of the Blue Mountains LGA to bring in their unwanted chemical waste to the two waste management facilities at no charge. The Contractor is required to stage and operate these events on behalf of Council.

Council operates a NSW Government-funded Community Recycling Centre (CRC) at each facility. The HCC events complement the CRCs by accepting household chemicals that are not accepted at the CRCs.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this water & environment opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
