Free Green Waste Weekend is coming up

Published on 18 May 2026

Residents are invited to dispose of green waste at no cost during our next ‘No Charge’ Green Waste event from 22 - 24 May.
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.*

Mornington can only accept up to three cubic metres of green waste per trip.
No commercial green waste.

Resource Recovery Centres (tips):

Opening hours:
Friday 8am – 4pm
