What you can book each year
Each financial year (1 July to 30 June), residents and not-for-profits are entitled to:
- Two free hard waste collection of up to 2 cubic metres (2m long x 1m wide x 1m high – equivalent to a standard trailer load)
- Two free mattress collection (mattress and/or ensemble base).
Bookings can be made at any time throughout the year. Please do not place items on the kerb without a confirmed booking.
Important: Electronic waste (e-waste) cannot be placed in hard waste collections. Recycle these items at approved drop-off locations. Visit East Waste for details
How to make a booking
Hard waste and mattress collections must be booked separately.
To make, amend, or cancel a booking, contact East Waste:
- East Waste - Book online
- Phone: 08 8347 5111
East Waste will confirm your booking. Waiting times may vary depending on demand.
Additional collection cost
Each extra collection will incur a fee of $52.50 per collection.
Placing items out for collection
Items must be placed on the verge:
- No earlier than 24 hours before your confirmed collection date
- No later than 6:00am on the collection day.
Hard waste placed out without a booking, or earlier than 24 hours before your scheduled collection, is considered illegal dumping and may result in a fine.
What can and can’t be collected
Not all items are accepted in hard waste collections.

Too good to waste – donate or sell it
Think before you book – donating or selling not only helps the environment but also supports your community.
Ideas for items in good condition:
- Donate locally – local op shops or charities often accept furniture and household goods
- Sell or give away online – Use community marketplaces or social media groups
- Family and friends – Someone you know may need it
- Host a garage sale – A great way to declutter and earn extra cash
- Specialty reuse organisations.
Visit East Waste for further reuse and recycling links and information. It’s your resource for up-to-date options and guidelines.
