Booked Hard / Green Waste Service

Mornington Peninsula Shire’s booked service collects hard waste and / or green waste from your home (nature strip).

How can I book a waste collection?

A hard and/or green waste collection service can be organised by calling the Shire on 5950 1406. 

Please allow 2 - 3 weeks for collection.  

PLEASE NOTE: your booked hard/green waste must NOT be placed out any earlier than one day before your booked collection date.

If your waste is placed out early, other residents may add to it, but you will be responsible for its removal, including any costs and /or infringements that may arise.

Paying for your Booked Waste Collection.

You have three options for your collection:

  1. Homeowners can use the waste vouchers from their rates notice
  2. Tenants can access waste vouchers by following the process outlined on the Tenant Waste Voucher webpage.
  3. You can pay for the service 

If you are using vouchers, you MUST have the vouchers available BEFORE you book your service.

Costs (or the number of vouchers required) are determined at the time of booking based on the volume and type of material. Please call on 5950 1406 for a quote. 

Please ensure that you are as accurate as possible when estimating the size of your hard waste collection. If the waste left for collection is more than the fee quoted (including any waste vouchers) then our contractors will attempt to contact you to discuss removal options. If this isn't possible, then only the waste accounted for will be removed and you will be responsible for the disposal of the remainder

Using waste vouchers. 

Waste vouchers can be found on your rates notice or through the tenant waste voucher application process and can be used to redeem this service:   

1 waste voucher = half a cubic metre of either hard waste or green waste.

4 waste vouchers are provided per rates notice.

If you are renting, please access your tenant waste vouchers through your landlord or real estate agent by following the process outlined on the Tenant Waste Voucher webpage. 

Please note that this process can take time to complete due to the steps required to verify your tenancy.

How do I calculate my waste volume?

To calculate the volume of waste, multiple the height, length and width. 

 For example, 1 m x 2 m x 1 m = 2 cubic meters
