Since Coronavirus (COVID-19) mobility restrictions took effect we have seen an increase in the amount of green and hard waste items disposed of and collected in Yarra.
To support households with surplus or items, we are temporarily offering an additional service for residents to drop these items off at the Clifton Hill Depot on select weekends in May. This is an additional service separate to the , which will continue to operate seven days of per week.
On Saturdays and Sundays between 9am to 4:45pm from 9 May and 31 May residents can drop accepted green waste or hard waste items at the Depot.
To access this temporary drop-off service you will need to provide proof that you are a Yarra resident i.e. a rates notice or driver’s license with your home address on it.
If you have made a booking for your hard or green waste to be collected, but would like to drop it off instead, let our staff know when you visit and your booking can be cancelled.
