How to place hard waste

Hard waste on the kerb

Find important details below on how, when and where to place your hard waste for collection.

To ensure proper sorting and recycling, separate trucks collect different types of waste. This means that items may be collected on different days during your collection week. For example, electronic waste might be collected on a different day to metals. If your waste has not been collected within the expected timeframe, please contact the Council for assistance. 

Please note that items placed out late will not be collected.
