Brimbank residents can safely and conveniently drop off their large unwanted household items, for reuse or recycling at the new ‘Pop-Up Drive Through Recycling Day’ – all at no charge.

Mayor of Brimbank, Cr Lucinda Congreve said this is a great opportunity to declutter your home and dispose of unwanted items responsibly by giving them a new life rather than going to landfill. 

“It’s easy and no charge for residents to participate in the Pop-Up event. On the day, simply load up the car or trailer and arrive at the location, we’ll take care of the rest - you don’t even need to get out of your car.

“We are partnering with local charity organisations, including West Welcome Wagon and Bikes 4 Life, to recycle and repurpose unwanted household items, including mattresses, whitegoods and electronic items.

“So pack up your car or trailer and let’s get recycling, and help the environment,” Cr Congreve said.

Residents can drop off TVs, computers, electronic appliances, whitegoods, furniture, mattresses, bicycles, homewares, clothes and linen. Residents cannot bring asbestos, construction waste, chemicals, biological waste, sharps, broken monitors, fluorescent tubes and smoke detectors.

There is a maximum of 8 items per household. Only cars or cars with trailers will be able to drop off items, no trucks or commercial quantities allowed.

A drivers licence or rates notice will be required on the day as proof of residency.

Bookings are preferred. To register visit popupbrimbank.eventbrite.com.au.
