A to Z of waste disposal

To donate, give away or sell items use your nearest Op Shop, Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree.

If toys and other baby items are in good condition, they can be donated to St Kilda Mums. 

If damaged, place in your recycling bin (yellow lid).

We've partnered with locally-based business UPPAREL to make it easier for Kingston residents to give their pre-loved clothing a second life.

Simply:

1. Pack your unwanted items into a box
2. Book your collection online
3. Leave your box at your front door for collection

UPPAREL will collect your box and pass any fit-for-wear items to charities or recycle damaged items by turning them into a new material that can be used to make a range of sustainable products.

Kingston residents are eligible for a discounted collection fee:
10kg box = $30
20kg box = $65

Learn more and book a collection with UPPAREL.

To donate, give away or sell clean items find your nearest Op Shop or refer to Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree.

You can sell certain brands and designer clothes to Swop and Mutual Muse or list on specialised online clothing selling sites such as Depop, Yordrobe or Carousel.

If damaged, book a collection with UPPAREL or place clothing in your landfill bin (red lid).

Donate, give away or sell items at your local Op Shop, Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree.

Dispose of broken furniture by booking a hard waste collection.

Remove batteries and place into your landfill bin (red lid).
