Green waste including weeds

• Recycle in your green bin. Large branches need to be chopped up so the bin lid can be fully closed.
• Recycle larger loads at our Recycling Centre. Residents can use a green waste voucher.

Noxious weeds can go in the green waste bin. Nillumbik’s kerbside green waste is taken to Veolia compost facility where it is composted in large containers at high temperatures (up to 60 degrees Celsius) for approximately two weeks. This process kills any weeds, seeds, harmful bacteria and other pathogens.
