Free Green Waste Disposal for the Month of November!

To assist residents with property clean-ups and to encourage sustainable disposal practices, the Rural City of Wangaratta are pleased to announce free green-waste drop-off at all transfer stations throughout the month of November.

Residents are encouraged to take advantage of this offer to dispose of garden waste, leaf litter, branches, and other woody materials. By properly managing green waste, residents can help reduce fire hazards. The separated green waste will be diverted from landfill and instead be turned into valuable compost and eventually used by Council’s Parks and Gardens team, to improve our local gardens.

All green waste will be inspected upon arrival at the transfer stations, so it’s essential that the material is free from contaminants, general waste, and recyclables. Council asks all waste is appropriately separated to help with the smooth processing of materials.

This is a great opportunity to prepare your garden for the summer months, reduce household waste, and contribute to a greener community.

Transfer Station Locations:

Wangaratta, 46-56 Sandford Rd

Eldorado, Woolshed Rd

Markwood, 145 Forest Lane

Moyhu 569 Boggy Creek Road
