Hard waste
Everything you need on hard waste collections, unwanted items, and other waste and recycling options across Darebin.
Hard waste collection
Our free hard waste collections
We provide up to two free hard waste collections each year.
How to place hard waste
How, when and where to place your hard waste for collection.
What we do and don't collect
A list of which items can or can't be put out for hard waste collection.
Detox Your Home initiative
Toxic items should never go in your bins or down the drain. Instead, use the Victorian Government's free chemical drop-off service.
Other de-cluttering and removal options
Fix broken items
Save your broken items from landfill and give them a second life by fixing them.
Donate or sell items
Several organisations will accept donated items if they're in good condition or just need minor repairs.
What to do with household appliances
If you have unwanted household appliances such as washing machines and fridges, we can help.
Clothing
A lot of clothing and textile waste ends up in landfill, but there are ways to reduce your fashion footprint.
Resource Recovery Centre (Tip)
The Resource Recovery Centre accepts a range of materials for recycling or safe disposal, including batteries, light globes and paint.
