Waste Disposal In Vic

[agentx]

Hey guys just a quick one, I need to get rid of a king mattress + base (not so decent condition but sleepable) and a lazyboy style chair (comfy as hell but ripped cover from a few places) and a few other things ... whats the best way to do it without doing anything illegal. Would salvation army etc be interested in these things or do I need to find out a local tip or something and sort them out there? cbf selling anything and have to get rid of them asap!

Cheers!

its $20 for a loaded car/ute.

if its in good nick maybe take it to a salvo shop?

Pretty certain Salvos and the like aren't going to be interested if the item is damaged.

Every begining of winter, i take old clothes, blankets....etc to the Keysborough animal shelter. They now runs their own Op-shop sort of thing in the weekend for self funding.

Salvo's don't accept mattresses from memory anymore.

Reason being they cant clean them easily at all, which must be done for all items.

most landfill's charge $15 bucks per Mattress as their not to much fun to bury.

what area you coming from ?

Pascoe vale! so the dump will even take a fridge?

find your local Transfer Station (public tip).

they'll take anything, but they'll charge for certain items. so just have cash ready.

fridge you can take in to a scrap metal place, they'll give you money for it, its a got a copper element at the back.

there ya go.... make money to get rid of some rubbish, pay money to get rid of the other rubbish and it all works out neutral

Leave it on your nature strip, construct a sign that reads "FREE ARMCHAIR" and "FREE MATRESS", ensure your writing is large and ledgable and be sure to fasten each sign to the correct item.

Problem solved.

cant i get fined for leaving sh*t out on the nature strip just like that?

Fridge to a scrap metal place is a good idea. I just saw an advert of someone wanting a free fridge / couch and mattress on gumtree cuz they've just moved out. waiting to hear back from them (pity they didn't leave a mobile #)

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

you got their address you say ?

just leave it on their front nature strip, they'll bring it in the morning

its a $2200 fine i think.
