The Bondi home of a family of hoarders is once again being cleaned up by workers from Waverly Council in Sydney's east.

The council has sent in contractors to remove the rubbish from the Boonara Avenue property after winning yet another court battle against Mary Bobolas and her two daughters, Elena and Liana.

Dump trucks are emptying the front yard, which has been filled with rotting garbage and other detritus, such as plastic containers, tins, jars, containers and wrappers, dead vegetation and disused electrical items, and the Bobolas' furniture and other personal items.

Police intervened this morning when the women tried to move some of the rubbish onto the footpath.

According to witnesses, Mrs Bobolas then attempted to move some of the items into her neighbour's yard.

Her daughter claims that Mrs Bobolas suffers psychological problems which cause her to hoard.

Neighbour Colm Drumgoole is concerned that the whole episode will have to repeated again in the future.

"It is a waste of time," he said.

"There is a mental health issue that has never been addressed.

"You can address the health and safety issues all you like but Mary will be back bringing this stuff or whenever she is released if she goes away from here she comes back."

It is the fifth time since 2005 that the council has been called in to clean up the property.

The Bobolas family were originally ordered to remove the garbage in December 2012, but after they refused, the council took the women to the Land and Environment Court in June 2013, which ordered a clean-up of the home.

The women claim the clean-up is illegal and that they just want time to fix their home.

Last month they sought an order from the NSW Supreme Court to stop the clean-up, but Justice Julie Ward ordered in favour of Waverly Council.

The council plans to charge the family for the cost of the clean-up after spending $300,000 in legal and cleaning costs over nearly a decade.
