Booking and timing rules
- Put items out no more than 48 hours before your collection, and by 6am on the day. Putting them out earlier can get you an infringement.
- You can change a booking up to eight days before the collection.
- Up to three mattresses a year are collected separately and don’t count toward your two collections.
- Rural properties aren’t eligible. They get annual disposal passes instead.
Bulk waste: what’s taken
- Accepted: furniture without glass, carpet and lino, toys without batteries, fridges and washing machines, and e-waste with batteries removed.
- Not accepted: items over 1.5 m long, tyres, batteries, asbestos, building materials, bricks, rubble and concrete, paint, gas bottles, and anything that belongs in the green waste collection.
Garden organics: what’s taken
- Accepted: garden organics, tree branches and twigs.
- Not accepted: pieces over 1.5 m long or 300 mm wide, lawn turf, dirt, soil and sand, plastic bags, and large stumps (cut them up first).
- Anything not accepted can go to Red Hill Waste Management Facility.
