It’s now cheaper for Monash residents to drop off green waste at the Monash Recycling and Waste Centre, with fees reduced from $80 to $50 per cubic metre.

It's a handy option if you have more garden waste than your green bin can handle, or larger branches that you couldn't put out for hard waste collection.

Accepted green waste includes branches, pruning, leaves and grass clippings.

Tree trunks and logs must be less than 20cm in diameter, or they will be charged as general waste.

Not accepted: soil, dirt or general rubbish.

What else is free and cheaper for residents?

Remember to bring proof of Monash residency or ratepayer status – such as a driver's licence or rates notice – to access resident pricing and free drop-off items.

Residents and ratepayers can drop off a large range of items at the recycling centre, including:

  • batteries
  • paint
  • excess cardboard boxes
  • electronic items
  • soft plastics
  • up to 0.5m³ of clean, rigid, white polystyrene.

Location: Monash Recycling and Waste Centre, 380 Ferntree Gully Rd, Notting Hill.
