Our hard waste kerbside collection helps residents dispose of larger damaged or unusable household items that cannot be disposed of through regular kerbside bin service, or items unable to be given away or recycled or reused.
Residential properties that have a 3-bin individual collection service, who live in the townships of Braidwood, Captains Flat, Bungendore and Queanbeyan, can access two free kerbside hard rubbish collections each financial year. You are able to dispose of up to two cubic metres of waste per collection.
Multi-unit properties or properties with a shared service have hard waste collections on a scheduled basis twice a financial year. More information is sent to eligible properties as the scheduled date approaches. Please contact council if you need further information 1300 735025.
We encourage residents to find homes or recycle items before placing out for collection. All items except for metals and mattresses will go to landfill.
- Household items, furniture, books, toys, clothes etc that are still in good order can be donated to a charity, given away on free websites such as free cycle, gum tree, local buy swap groups, and buy nothing social media sites.
- The Tip Shop at Bungendore or Braidwood may also be able to take items in good working order. Check our website for opening hours
- Mobile phones, printer cartridges, gas bottle, batteries, florescent lights, paints, oils, fire extinguishers, smoke alarms can be taken to the Bungendore or Queanbeyan CRC https://www.qprc.nsw.gov.au/Waste-Environment/Waste/Waste-Transfer-Stations-and-Waste-Minimisation-Centre.
- Paints, engine oil and batteries can also be taken to Braidwood Transfer Station
- Paper and cardboard and other containers that normally go in the yellow topped recycling bin can be taken to the Queanbeyan Waste Minimisation Centre, Bungendore Transfer Station, Braidwood Transfer Station, Nerriga Transfer Station, Macs Reef Road transfer station or Captains Flat Transfer station.
