When we collect your hard waste

Monash Council provides eligible residential properties a free hard waste collection annually.

The next collection runs from 15 July to 6 September 2024. Collections take place in a different part of Monash each week during the collection period.

You can find your hard waste collection date by entering your address on our My Area page:

My area - residential hard waste collection

Or check the calendar: Annual Hard Waste Collection 2024(PDF, 261KB)

Items may be collected by different trucks, at different times, during your collection week.

Please note, hard waste collections are for eligible residential properties only.
Residents in apartment buildings or other multi-unit dwellings may not receive an annual hard waste collection. Please check with your building's facility manager or body corporate before putting items out for collection.

Preparing your hard waste

About two weeks before your collection dates, check your mailbox for a pamphlet explaining: 

  • What items can and can't be collected. 
  • How to properly place items on the nature strip to ensure your hard waste is collected. 

To see what can and can't be collected, visit What goes in your hard waste.

To keep Monash's streets as clean as possible, only put items out 2 days before your collection date.

Additional hard waste collection

You can also book an additional hard waste collection for a week that suits you. This collection is an extra service to your free hard waste collection. Costs apply and payment is required at the time of booking.
