August 5th, 2024Hard rubbish collection coming up for Clunes

Clunes residents are being encouraged to start thinking about what items they may like to discard – or instead donate to their nearest tip shop – ahead of the town’s annual hard rubbish collection.

The well-patronised annual household clean-up opportunity is set take place from Monday September 9, prompting the Hepburn Shire Council to begin publicising it on their social media site.

Residents of the town are being advised to place items for hard rubbish collection out on their nature strips by 6am on the morning of Monday September 9 – but not before Saturday September 7

Items collected items include scrap metal, e-waste and white goods and also green waste.

Not collected items include recyclables, concrete or rubble, household rubbish, chemicals, motor oil and batteries.

The council is urging residents to “please consider if the item you are putting out might be able to be used by someone else before placing it out for collection”.

Those who make use of the annual opportunity to bid farewell to broken items and unwanted clutter are also being urged to ensure clear access to their nature strip so the council team can easily collect and load the material

A flyer with full details would be delivered to residents’ letterboxes ahead of the collection, while more information could also be obtained by looking up the council website.
