**Free Green Waste Drop-Off Week - Next Week**
As the warmer months approach, Council is encouraging residents to start preparing their properties ahead of the upcoming Fire Danger Period. To support this, Council will again be offering a week of free green waste drop-off.
When: Monday 2 November- Sunday 8 November
Where: All Transfer Station
Cost: FREE for residents (excludes commercial vehicles)
Conditions apply:
➡Max 1m3 per customer per day
➡Only green waste and small tree branches no bigger than 200mm accepted. NO STUMPS
➡No treated timber or other garden waste e.g soil, fencing wire, plastic strapping
➡Loads will be inspected on arrival, and any contaminated loads will be rejected
➡Commercial loads are not accepted for free under this arrangement
This is an opportunity for residents to reduce fuel levels around their properties, not for shed clear-outs.
Remember, fine fuels make fires easier to start and harder to control. Keeping your property clear helps protect your home and community.
The free drop-off is in addition to the weekly FOGO collection, which continues until the end of November before returning to fortnightly collections in December.

Let’s all do our part to stay fire ready this season!
