Hard Waste Collection

Some of our Member Councils provide a hard waste service to recycle large items that cannot be placed in the yellow-top recycling kerbside bin. If available, you can choose to have your items collected from the front of your property, or take them to one of the facilities. For further information, or to book a hard waste collection, please visit your local Council website.
