The most satisfying end to a pre-Christmas spring clean is around the corner with Council’s  Free Hard Rubbish Drop-Off Days on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 December 2024.

This event will provide City of Maribyrnong residents with an opportunity to clear out unwanted household items - with the added benefit of being able to safely dispose of items that are not able to be picked up during Council’s once a year bookable hard waste collection.

Residents can drop off items at the Brooklyn Resource Recovery Centre (174 Old Geelong Road, Brooklyn) between 8am and 12pm on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 December. Don’t forget to bring proof of address, such as a utility bill or rates notice, to have the fee waived.

A range of hard rubbish items will be accepted, including:

  • car batteries/household batteries
  • tyres
  • gas bottles
  • used motor oil
  • household furniture (couches, tables, chairs)
  • mattresses and bed bases
  • white goods and appliances
  • timber, scrap metal, and electronic waste (e-waste)

Please note:

  • only one (1) drop-off per household during the weekend (not one per day)
  • residential waste only
  • no trucks or commercial vehicles
  • limit of two (2) tyres per household
  • limit of two (2) mattresses per household
  • some items, such as hazardous waste and car parts, will not be accepted

This initiative supports Council’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and reducing landfill waste, key objectives in our Towards Zero Waste Strategy 2019-2030.

Quote from Mayor, Cr Pradeep Tiwari

“Take advantage of free drop-off days and do your part to keep our community clean and safe. This is the perfect opportunity to responsibly dispose of items like car batteries, used motor oil, tyres, and household items which might be cluttering your home, shed or backyard.”
