We're inviting our residents to dispose of green waste at no cost during our next ‘No Charge’ Green Waste event from 14 - 16 August. 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:
Resource Recovery Centres (tips):
Opening hours: Friday 8am – 4pm Saturday and Sunday 8am – 5pm
Stay on top of your green waste year-round
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. Visit mornpen.vic.gov.au/greenwaste Reduce waste at home with our compost rebate! Turn your green waste and kitchen scraps into garden gold. Shire households can save on compost bins, worm farms or bokashi systems. Visit mornpen.vic.gov.au/compost
* On very busy days, customers might not be able to join the queue from 3:30pm (weekends and public holidays) and from 2:30pm (weekdays), to ensure the site can close on time.
