As part of the service, each household is eligible to drop off up to 3 cubic metres of acceptable green waste with a proof of residency required. Ratepayers will need to provide a copy of their rates notice, and tenants will need to provide a utility bill as well as their driver's licence.
Acceptable green waste that can be dropped off includes tree debris, branches, foliage, and general green waste. The maximum size limit for a large branch, log or stump is 30cm round and 1m long. No large tree stumps will be accepted.
The transfer stations will have additional staff to accommodate for the additional drop offs at the site during these dates. Residents looking to dispose of residual waste or recyclables are encouraged to plan their visit on alternative dates to avoid delays.
