With summer and another fire season approaching, Cardinia Shire Council is urging residents to start preparing now for the green and hard waste collections in November.
Collections commence 16 November and all items must be placed on nature strips the day before the due collection date.
For example, items scheduled for collection during the week 16 – 20 November should be placed out on 15 November.
Collection is carried out according to your bin day from the 16 November to the 18 December.
Trucks will not return for material put out late, but will return for missed collections if residents contact WM Waste Management by the Monday after the scheduled collection dates.
Mayor Cr Bill Pearson said the clean up was an important community service with an extra level of importance this year given the devastation of the last fire season.
“If residents use the collections to reduce flammable materials from their properties as well as clean them up, they will make important contributions towards their fire preparedness,” said Cr Pearson.
“The green waste and hard waste collections are opportunities not to be missed, especially this year,” he added.
For detailed information about when your collection will take place and what can be collected see the hard and green waste collection page of this website or telephone 1300 787 624.
