Cardinia Shire Council’s Christmas drop-off event just got bigger and better!
This year Council is expanding its usual cardboard drop-off event, accepting a wider range of those hard-to-recycle items that pile up over the festive season.
At the upcoming Recycling Drive and Drop event, residents can drop off e-waste, polystyrene, soft plastics, textiles, and excess cardboard — all for free.
Running over two days as a convenient drive-thru, all accepted items will be reused, repurposed or recycled.
