Recycling and Waste Transfer Centre

Hard Waste Disposal options
Following the closure of the Veolia waste transfer centre owned by Skye Sands in Harold Road, Skye, Council is offering residents until 30 June 2012 a temporary "at call" hard waste collection service, with one service for each household subsidised by 33%.
The subsidised service will cost residents $50 for up to two cubic metres of hard waste. Items collected will be the same as the annual hard waste collection with the exception of mattresss/bases, which will not be collected. Subsequent collections will cost $75. Hard Waste in excess of two cubic metres will not be collected.
The following list contains some items that we DO NOT take:
- Mattresses;
- Branches of less than 75mm not bundled;
- Items than cannot be picked up by two people;
- Branches bundled with wire or plastic ties;
- Branches with metal (nails, bolts, stakes etc) or plastic embedded in them;
- Branches with diameter exceeding 150mm;
- Prunings with thorns,
- Tree stumps;
- Domestic refuse;
- Night soil or sewage;
- Toxic chemicals (e.g. poisons, trade waste, pool chemicals);
- Asbestos or cement sheets;
- Car or truck tyres;
- Car or truck batteries;
- Gas cylinders;
- Liquid waste including paints, solvents, oils or chemicals;
- Bricks, concrete or rubble, excavation material, sand, dirt, stones or soil, roof tiles and ceramic tiles resulting from demolition renovation or erection of any buildings;
- Any objects greater than 2 metres in length, or 2 metres in width;
- An individual waste pile in excess of two cubic metres; and
- Unwrapped or un-securely wrapped sheet glass.

We can take two cubic metres of carpet rolls in total. Each roll should be up to 1.5 m in length.
Please follow the link to the Frankston City Recycling and Safe Disposal Directory page for items such as chemicals, mattresses, white goods, electronic waste, printer cartridges, mobile phones and needles and syringes.
- You can download information about the Veolia's Skye Resource Recovery Facility Closure
Residents can book the service by phoning 1300 322 322 and a contractor will pick up the hard waste from the front yard of your property, not on the nature strip. Collection crews need access from 6am.
Skye Sands who are seeking a new contractor to operate the centre, have indicated the site will likely re - open by July 2012.
Alternatively, if your items are in good condition, post an add on Freecycle, Gumtree or Ziilch - free online sites to give away or sell quality items.
Freecycle:
The Freecycle Network™ is a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own towns and thus keeping good stuff out of landfills. Membership is free, and everything posted must be FREE, legal and appropriate for all ages. To view the items being given away or sought in Frankston, join up to the Frankston Freecycle group.
Gumtree:
www.melbourne.gumtree.com.au
Ziilch
Much like Freecycle, www.ziilch.com.au is a comprehensive re-use website providing individuals, not for profits, charities, waste management and council groups with an online resource for finding, giving away and managing re-usable items.
Let's work together to keep Frankston City clean and beautiful
