Free Green Waste Weekends

East Gippsland Shire Council has announced that disposal of green waste will be free of charge this weekend (2 and 3 December) and next weekend (9 and 10 December) at all Council operated waste disposal facilities.

By East Gippsland Shire - 6th December 2006 - Back to News

Waste Management Coordinator Megan Dennett said the free weekend were because of the early introduction of fire restrictions and to encourage fire prevention and fuel reduction on properties.

"Council waste disposal facilities will be open during normal operating hours for the two free weekends," Ms Dennett said.

"It is an excellent opportunity for people to clean up their properties and reduce the risks that fire can create during what is expected to be a hot and dangerous summer period."

Ms Dennett said contaminated loads would incur a disposal fee as would tree stumps and logs over 300 mm diameter and other general wastes.
