THIS month residents of Moorabool Shire can drop off green waste to the region’s transfer stations for free.<\/p>\n

Transfer stations are located at Ballan, Maddingley and Mount Egerton, and there is no restriction on the volume of green waste received if it is delivered by a residential vehicle or trailer.<\/p>\n

Residents must show proof of residency such as a driver’s licence or utility bill and no commercial customers will be accepted.<\/p>\n

The initiative aims to help the community prepare for the bushfire season.<\/p>\n

“This is a great initiative that was introduced following more than 700 community contributions as part of Moorabool’s waste and resource recovery strategy 2030,” said Moorabool Shire Council CEO Derek Madden.<\/p>\n

“This initiative runs every November, enabling Moorabool Shire residents to drop off green waste at no cost, to any of the Shire’s transfer stations.<\/p>\n

“This helps enormously with preparing properties for the upcoming fire season, so we encourage residents to take advantage of it.”<\/p>\n

Accepted items include undergrowth and fallen branches, leaves from gutters and grass.<\/p>\n

Tree stumps, branches over 200 millimetres in diameter, and green waste mixed with garbage, recyclables, building materials or any other contaminant will not be accepted.<\/p>\n
