Residents are invited to dispose of green waste at no cost during our next ‘No Charge’ Green Waste event from 20 – 22 March. 

The ‘No Charge’ Green Waste event is for Shire residents or ratepayers only. 
 
These events are popular with residents and delays should be expected, especially in the morning and at the end of the day.*  
 
Remember:  

  • To bring proof of residency (for example driver’s license, 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 green waste. 

Resource Recovery Centres (tips):

  • Rye: Truemans Road 
  • Tyabb: McKirdys Road 
  • Mornington: Watt Road. 

Opening hours during No Charge Green Waste Weekend 20-22 March: 
Friday 8am – 4pm 
Saturday and Sunday 8am – 5pm
