Mornington Peninsula Shire is reminding residents to take advantage of its offer to dispose of green waste for free from May 27-29. The ‘no charge green waste event’ is for Shire residents or ratepayers only, and the Shire will also only accept green waste from residential vehicles and trailers.
“These events are popular with residents and delays should be expected, especially in the morning and at the end of the day,” it said in a press release today. “Remember to bring proof of residency – for example, driver’s licence, rates notice. Green waste includes all types of garden waste and untreated timber. Mornington can only accept up to three cubic metres of green waste per trip. No commercial vehicles or commercial green waste will be accepted. If you find yourself regularly taking green waste to the tip, you can opt in to receive a 240-litre fortnightly green and food waste bin collection if you live in the ‘urban area’ of the Shire.”
The Shire’s resource recovery centres – Truemans Rd in Rye, McKirdys Rd in Tyabb and Watt Rd in Mornington – will be open from 8am-4pm on Friday and from 8am-5pm on Saturday and Sunday. For more information or to book a green waste bin collection service, phone 1300 850 600 or 5950 1000, or visit the Shire’s website.
