Council’s FREE green waste drop-off events are back!

Published: 15 January 2024

Residents are encouraged to drop off their green waste for free at the upcoming Green-waste drop off events in Pakenham and Lysterfield.

Due to increased popularity, this year there are 6 days for each drop-off event, giving residents even more days to drop-off their green waste 

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

Council’s green waste drop-off events are 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.
