Prepare for summer with Council’s FREE green waste drop-off events!

The service helps Cardinia Shire residents to clean up and reduce the fire fuel load on their properties in the lead up to the summer period.  

Council’s green waste drop-off events are a free service accepting residential amounts of green waste including flowers, garden prunings, grass clippings, leaves, tree branches and trunks (up to 30 centimetres wide and 1 metre long), and weeds.
