On-call hard waste reminder

If you’re tired of watching waste piling up at home or need that extra storage space in time for Christmas, avoid the rush and book Council’s on-call hard waste collection service.

Council’s on-call hard waste collection is a waste disposal and recycling service for items that are too large to dispose of through your regular household waste bin.

Maroondah Mayor and Council’s representative on the Metropolitan Local Government Waste Forum, Cr Mike Symon, said that due to demand this time of year and a limited number of booking spots available, residents would need to book their pre-Christmas collection early to avoid missing out.

“Council is working hard to reduce waste. We are doing this by making it easier for you to recycle, prevent organic waste going into the bin, and diverting e-waste, hard rubbish and chemicals from landfill,” Cr Symon said.

Maroondah residents who pay a residential bin charge are entitled to two pre-booked hard waste collections per financial year. You can choose from two single collections or one double collection. It’s also free to book the service, with the cost covered by municipal waste charges.
