Frankston City annual hard waste collection to start this month
Published on 14 April 2021
Frankston City’s annual hard waste collection will commence from Monday 19 April.
Residents can visit MyAddress to view the specific date hard waste will be collected in their street: www.frankston.vic.gov.au/MyAddress
Council will also send residents a brochure reminding them of their collection two weeks before it takes place. This brochure will include information about items accepted by the hard waste service.
Hard waste can be placed on nature strips no earlier than the Saturday prior to pick up week and no later than 6am on the Monday of pick up week.
Those who place waste out for collection before these dates risk being fined for illegal dumping. Any excess waste or items not accepted will have to be removed by the resident.
To maximise diversion from landfill, residents will find their waste is collected by more than one truck.
Each household can place a total combined material not exceeding two cubic metres for collection. As a general rule, the total area of material for collection must not exceed two metres across, one metre high and be no more than one metre deep. An example will be printed on the brochure delivered to letterboxes.
North East Ward Cr David Asker asked the community to be considerate when placing their waste out for collection.
“Residents can help us do the job as efficiently by neatly placing no more than two cubic metres of waste out for pick up, well out of the way of your bins.”
Cr Asker added that scavenging is strongly discouraged, however, people may remove items if they have sought the permission of the resident.
“Please be mindful that we are still in a COVID-19 pandemic and some people may be uncomfortable with being approached regarding this request.”
Cr Asker urged residents with unwanted household items that are reusable and in good condition to consider donating to local charities.
Residents can have hard waste collected at other times of the year for a fee.
