Residents are encouraged to prepare their properties for the warmer months with two free Green Waste Weekends at Indigo Shire's transfer stations this October.
Property owners can dispose of eligible green waste free of charge at the Beechworth and Rutherglen Transfer Stations from Friday 23 to Sunday 25 October and again from Friday 30 October to Sunday 1 November during operating hours.
The initiative provides an opportunity for residents to reduce fuel loads, tidy their gardens and safely dispose of green waste ahead of the fire season.
Accepted materials include:
The free disposal period is available for domestic loads only.
Residents are encouraged to start planning their garden clean-up now, allowing time to trim trees, prune shrubs, rake leaves and prepare material for transport ahead of the free weekends.
