Hard waste collection service

Council now offers residents a personalised collection service.  Instead of everyone putting their hard rubbish out on the footpath at the same time, residents can book two hard rubbish collections per year. 

To have your hard rubbish collected:

• Phone Council’s Access Yarra Unit on 9205 5555 to make a booking.
• Access Yarra will provide you with a pick-up date, and ask about the content and volume of what needs to be picked up.
• Access Yarra will also advise on the best location to place your hard rubbish items.
• The night before the pick-up date, neatly and safely place your items in the agreed location.

Each collection can be up to a standard trailer load (or one cubic metre), items must be no longer than 1.5 metres and must be easily lifted by one or two people.

Items that can be included in hard rubbish:

• Mattresses
• TVs, VCRs, stereos etc
