We offer a free, once-per-year hard waste collection service to all residents. This aims to reduce waste costs for the community, while also assisting those without access to transportation to utilise the Waste and Resource Recovery Centre.

Residents can call Bedford on 8647 7711 to book in for a hard waste collection. You appointment will then be confirmed by Bedford via a phone call one week prior to collection.
