Hard waste collection

East Waste collects hard waste for the City of Unley. 

Residents are entitled to book the following free collections each financial year:

  • 1 x general hard waste collection: a limit of 2 cubic metres (2m x 1m x 1m) applies (which roughly equates to a standard 6ft x 4ft trailer load).
  • 1 x mattress and/or ensemble collection (to be booked separately from other hard waste items). 

Residents may also book a second hard waste collection, at a cost of $70.

How to book a hard waste or mattress collection

Waiting times for collections will depend upon demand for the services.

NOTE:  Hard waste items placed out on the verge without a booking or earlier than 24 hours before the collection date will be considered illegal dumping and may incur a fine.  The minimum fine for illegal dumping is $210, and it increases according to the volume and type of material.

How to recycle and other waste

For ways to recycle or dispose of other items such as electrical appliances or hazardous waste, see our 'Tricky waste' information page.
