Many people ask us questions like; If the local council can collect the rubbish for free why should we pay a Company like yours at Easy Skip Hire Melbourne to do it? Our answer is always, it’s a great question worth exploring in a little more detail.
Generally, the council gives you the opportunity to use their service to move your hard rubbish away twice a year, here are few things you should remember:
- You will have to book the pickup with your local council.
- Assuming you are authorised or have authorisation from the rates payer (owner) to do so.
- You will need to move your hard rubbish by yourself and place them on your nature strip usually the day before pickup to avoid neighbours adding to your pile and you risking it being rejected.
- If you fail to place your items on time you will lose one of your two bookings for that year.
- Most Councils (all vary) will only accept 1-2 m3 or 1-2 lineal metres of “accepted” waste types.
- Some accept mattresses, tyres and paint, many do not and it varies per Council.
- Construction waste is not accepted (bricks, tiles, heavies like some timbers etc).
- Generally, Councils are very strict on labelling the pile and the size, weight and volume of the pile as well as the actual items.
- The typical collection timeframe may take 4-15 business days.
Phew, a bit to digest there.
Importantly, you will have to ensure your hard rubbish is in the in the approved area out front of your property and that it is within the sizing and waste types specified by the local council.
Also, note that the council may not take all rubbish in one day as they may collect some and may leave heavy items for a different day collection.
