A-Z Interactive Residential Waste Guide

Before looking to dispose of items, please think how you could reduce the amount of waste you are creating or could you (or a friend, neighbour or family members) reuse items instead of throwing them away? Many items can be repaired either by yourself or a professional, for example Remote Equipment Repairs, or traded on websites such as Rosella Street. 

For information about our recycling and waste services please view our residential waste and recycling guide.

Please remember, if you cannot find an item listed, or need further information, please contact Council’s Waste Education Team on wastewise@wyndham.vic.gov.au or 1300 023 411.

Waste Items

Hard and Green Waste

Wyndham City offers most Wyndham households three free hard and green waste collection services each financial year.  A home collection service accepts larger and different items that may not be able to go in your bins.

The service works on a pre-booked system. You will need to book your collection day at least 2 weeks in advance with collection waiting time between 2-5 weeks depending on your location.
