Council’s free green waste drop-off events are back in Pakenham and Lysterfield!

The service helps Cardinia Shire residents to clean up and reduce the fire fuel load on their properties. 

Council’s green waste drop-off events are a free service accepting residential amounts of green waste including garden prunings, tree branches and trunks (up to 30 centimetres wide and 1 metre long), weeds, grass clippings, leaves, and flowers.
