If a tree or limb from a tree located on private property has fallen and caused damage to private property, the NSW SES will attend to remove the tree or limb from a building or to allow access to the property. You can contact the NSW SES at 132 500
Property owners are advised to make their own arrangements or contact their insurance company to have tree debris removed. You can use your weekly green bin to dispose of green waste or request a bulky waste collection or a voucher to dispose of your bulky waste at the Awaba Waste Management Facility.

Lake Macquarie residents disposing of bulky waste arising from January's severe storm will be exempt from paying the NSW Government’s waste levy until the end of February. The exemption applies to waste such as building debris, flooded carpet, fallen trees and spoiled food waste caused by the storm, dropped off at the Awaba Waste Management Facility. An operational fee – also known as a gate fee or tip fee – of $270 per tonne will continue to be charged for mixed household waste.
