Before booking a hard waste collection
You might want to consider giving away or selling your unwanted items. Why not consider selling items through online sites, or hosting a garage sale, or simply giving them tothe local charity shop? There are loads of ways to give your unwanted stuff a new life. From an environmental perspective, recycling your second-hand goods extends the life of the items, and avoids the need for more resources to go into the manufacure of a new product.
Drop is off at your local op shop - Op shops receive your unwanted goods and sell them cheaply to support charities focused at helping our local community. They are generally staffed by volunteers and always appreciate contributions. You might even find a bargain for yourself while you're there!
Local opportunity shops within our area are:
R.S.P.C.A - Prospect Thrift Shop
180 Prospect Road, Prospect
Mon - Fri 10am - 4pm, Sat 10am - 2pm
St Vincent de Paul Family Centre - Prospect
92a Prospect Road, Prospect
Mon - Fri 10am - 4pm, Sat 9am - 12noon
For more information on how to dispose of items not accepted through hard waste collections, please call Council's Waste Enquiry Line on 1800 283 529.
