Hard rubbish
An annual hard rubbish collection (July to September) is provided for residents to dispose of waste not usually accepted.
Wherever possible, materials are recycled, reducing the amount of waste going to landfill.
What can be included in the hard rubbish collection?
- metals and whitegoods - including washing machines
- fridges and dishwashers - for safety reasons doors should be removed from fridges and freezers
- wood - not including fencing
- disused household appliances
- furniture
- small car parts.
To minimise local amenity issues, hard waste should be placed out for collection no more than one week prior to your scheduled collection day. Materials left out for collection must not exceed 1.5 metres in length. Scrap metal will be collected separately for recycling.
