Hard Rubbish Support Program

Registrations for the 2020/21 program has now closed. 

Hinchinbrook Shire Council, together with the Hinchinbrook Community Support Centre (HCSC), provides an annual Hard Rubbish Support Program for eligible residents. The program is intended to assist community members who are otherwise unable to remove large items from their home.

Eligibility is based on where the Council, or HCSC, has determined the following that:

• By reason of ill health or other physical or mental incapacity, no occupier of the household, or nearby relatives, are reasonably able to transport the items to one of Council’s resource recovery centres; or
• The resident is experiencing substantial financial hardship and can therefore not afford disposing of said items at one of Council’s resource recovery centres.

Please see below for acceptable and unacceptable items.
