Yarra Ranges residents are encouraged to make the most of their annual hard waste and Bundled Branch collection, with opportunities to dispose of old appliances, bulky items and branches.
Between January and March, every household will have a collection of hard waste, metals and whitegoods and bundled branches.
Bundled branches, mattresses, metals, whitegoods, electronic waste – eg. computers, televisions, monitors, all other battery and power-operated items and items with an electrical cord will be collected & sent for recycling. All other items will be disposed of in Landfill.
Hard waste should be placed out where wheelie bins are usually collected from, only from the Sunday before your collection week starts.
To find out your property’s collection week, visit yarraranges.vic.gov.au/WasteDates
Community members can place up to three cubic metres of hard waste, including:
Unwanted furniture that cannot be donated or reused by others
Metals
Whitegoods (fridge doors must be removed)
Electronic waste – anything that uses a battery or an electrical cord
Mattresses
Bundled branches
Household waste, building renovation materials, untied branches, green waste and chemicals cannot be placed out for collection.
Over your collection week, different materials will be collected by trucks, to ensure they can be sorted.
If your hard waste hasn’t been collected by the end of your collection week, call us on 1300 368 333 before the end of the following week.
