Kerbside large item collection service

Brisbane City Council's kerbside large item collection service helps residents dispose of large household items that cannot be donated, sold, recycled or are too big to be disposed of in the household general waste or recycling bin.

Council delivers this service to all Brisbane suburbs and will:

  • carry out collections on a specific week for each suburb
  • notify you of your collection week by delivering a flyer to your property. The flyer is delivered at least one week before the collection starts in your suburb.

You can receive free reminders before your kerbside collection by:

Ensure you:

  • check what items Council will accept as part of this large item collection service
  • find out about other resource recovery options for large household items in quality, usable condition. 

You must place your items for collection on the kerbside in front of your property by 6am on the first day of the collection period.

Note: kerbside collection is not performed on public holidays.

Eligibility

Residential households in the Brisbane local government area, including houses and multi-unit dwellings, are eligible to take part in the kerbside large item collection service.

Properties that are not eligible include commercial properties, schools and vacant land.

Other resource recovery options

Council encourages you to look for other resource recovery options for your large household items, to contribute to a cleaner, greener city by reducing landfill.

Council Treasure Troves

Council's Treasure Troves in Acacia Ridge and Geebung sell quality second-hand items donated by residents through Council's resource recovery centres. The Treasure Troves are operated by the Endeavour Foundation and all proceeds support people with disabilities. Donating to Treasure Troves is free when using Council's four resource recovery centres. Donations are not accepted directly at our local Treasure Troves.
