Wellington Shire Council's vision is for happy people, healthy environment and thriving communities.
If your property receives the council kerbside bin collection service, you are eligible for hard waste collection.
You can place your hard waste out up to 7 days before your scheduled collection. It must be out by 6am on the Monday of your designated collection week.
Hard waste collection runs over 5 weeks, with a specific week allocated for each bin collection day:
You can easily check on our Bin Collection page.
Helpful information for the disposal of used sandbags:
The Incident Control Centre for recent flooding is still working through the most appropriate way to collect used sandbags.
Our advice at the moment is to stack them on your nature strip, ensuring that if you also have a hard waste pile, that the two are separate and contractors can distinguish between them.
If you're eligible for hard waste, please note that sandbags will not be collected as part of your hard waste. If you add them to your hard waste collection, it will not be collected.
The following items will be collected:
The following items will not be collected:
When placing your Hard Waste out for collection, please ensure:
The limit for hard waste materials is 1.5m³ per household. As a guide, a standard 6x4 trailer holds approx 1m³.
Our contractors will reject items which exceed the 1.5m³ limit.
Unacceptable items will not be collected.
The items will be taped and a notice will be left which explains to the householder or property owner why the items have been rejected.
The notice will request that rejected items are removed from your nature strip within a 48 hour period. Items not removed from nature strips within the designated period may incur penalties.
