Free green waste drop-off ahead of summer

Cardinia residents are encouraged to drop off their green waste for free at the upcoming green waste drop off events in Pakenham and Lysterfield.

The service helps Cardinia Shire residents to clean up and reduce the fire fuel load on their properties throughout the year.

The green waste drop-off events are accepting residential amounts of green waste, including garden prunings, tree branches and trunks (up to 30 centimetres wide and one metre long), weeds, grass clippings, leaves, and flowers.   

The events will run from Monday 7 October to Sunday 13 October at the Cleanaway Resource Recovery Centre at 840 Wellington Road in Lysterfield and from Monday 9 December to Saturday 14 December at the Future Recycling Transfer Station at 30-32 Exchange Drive in Pakenham.

Residents must present photo ID as proof of residence within Cardinia Shire to access the free service.   

Waste will only be accepted from residential vehicles and trailers.
