An extreme weather event, bringing 5 days of heavy rain and extensive flooding, has impacted much of the Sydney Basin and Blacktown City Council local government area.
To assist with the clean-up efforts for the collection and dispose of waste, Blacktown City Council will be operating a curb-side pickup.

Starting Saturday 27 March, Council will operate the curb-side pickup service for damaged goods and household furniture in flood-affected areas.
The following suburbs and streets will be visited by Council crews until the goods have been removed.
- The Avenue at Walker Parade, Angus (formerly Riverstone)
