Prepare for summer with Council’s FREE green waste drop-off events!

Published: 9 November 2020

Cardinia Shire Council’s free green waste drop-off events are happening once again at Pakenham and Lysterfield.

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

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

Residents must present photo ID as proof of residence within Cardinia Shire to access the free service.  

Waste will only be accepted from residential vehicles and trailers; commercial business operators cannot use this service.
