Book a Hard Waste Collection
While the council provides one free collection per year, residents can book a paid hard waste collection of 2 cubic metres which allows you to dispose of household items at any time of the year.
As part of Frankston City Council's Ratepayer Rewards, ratepayers can redeem a $25 discount on at-call hard waste collections. For further information, click here. To apply your $25 discount you must redeem your voucher prior to processing an At Call Hard Waste Collection booking.
