Frequently asked questions

How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in South Hobart?

Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Hobart City runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in TAS.

How often is recycling collected in South Hobart?

Hobart City collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. The typical South Hobart collection day is Tuesday, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Hobart City's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night, and in most of South Hobart that night is Tuesday. These are two different things and both matter.
  • Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
