Residents have several options for the disposal of acceptable hard waste through Council's hard waste service:
Kerbside Collections
Free 'at call' on demand collections (no cost, any time of year)
Additional paid collections for $135 per booking, $23 per mattress, $25 per tyre, and $28 per fridge
Do-it-yourself Tip Delivery
Your free 2 cubic metre allocation of hard waste is applicable per financial year, with a new allocation being available from 1 July every year. 2 cubic metres – 2 metres long x 1 metre high x 1 metre wide. In feet this equates to 6ft x 3ft x 3ft.
The free at call hard waste collection service replaces the previous hard waste vouchers issued with your rate notices.
You should receive a confirmation email immediately after booking outlining your collection week, when and where to place out the waste, the acceptable and unacceptable waste and the amount of waste that can be placed out.
Residents are able to book one annual at call kerbside collection per financial year at no cost (conditions apply). The service allows for the kerbside collection of up to two cubic metres of acceptable hard waste placed within the front property boundary.
This service is available to residents living at the property—whether owner or tenant (commercial, industrial and vacant land excluded).
Booking instructions

What Items can I put out?
We will COLLECT
Most materials collected will be recycled or reused where possible.
We will NOT COLLECT
Items may be collected by multiple trucks. To save space and keep costs to a minimum, bulky items are compacted in the trucks. Most items are recycled or reused where possible. All items are taken to the Knox Transfer Station for sorting and recycling. Items that are reusable are sold at the Recycled Goods Store.

Consider donating, selling or giving away items in good condition first.
