Hume City Council: Bundled Branches Collection

Hume residents can book free hard waste and bundled branch collections using their waste vouchers. Each residential property has five waste vouchers available each year between 1 July and 30 June. Waste vouchers can also be used to take items to Hume Council’s Resource Recovery Centres.

Before You Book:

  • Only accepted items will be collected. Check what items can be collected through our hard waste and bundled branch collections.
    • Items placed on the nature strip without permission may incur fines.
  • During busy periods, there may be an extended wait before we can collect your waste - throughout December there will be limited numbers of collections due to the Christmas period. 
    • You can find the next available collection week by entering your address in the booking form below. 
  • Hard waste and bundled branches are considered separate collections. They can be booked separately or at the same time.
