Hard waste collection

How, when and where to place your hard waste for collection.

We provide hard waste collection services each year.

A list of which items can or can't be put out for hard waste collection.

A lot of clothing and textile waste ends up in landfill, but there are ways to reduce your fashion footprint.

Several organisations will accept donated items if they're in good condition or just need minor repairs.

Toxic items should never go in your bins or down the drain. Instead, use the Victorian Government's free chemical drop-off service.

If you have unwanted household appliances such as washing machines and fridges, we can help.

Save your broken items from landfill and give them a second life by fixing them.

The Resource Recovery Centre accepts a range of materials for recycling or safe disposal, including batteries, light globes and paint.
