   4.5     Rubbish Removal

   Council assists groups to remove any rubbish that volunteers may have collected during working
   bees. Hard waste (such as household items) should be piled safely away from public access (paths
   etc.) and in a way that is accessible by Council. To have this removed, please contact Council's
   Customer Service on 5329 6500 or                         to raise a customer request. This will
   ensure it is handled and actioned by the appropriate team.
   Green waste should be left to decompose on-site when it is seed free and non-vegetative to reduce
   landfill. Council supports new initiatives in waste management and can assist you with support and
   advice on the best methodology for your site such as on-site composting and the management of
   fallen branches. Where on-site composting is not possible, green waste should be bagged (weed
   bags or pink skips) and removed from site. Your 12-month Activity Plan should include an estimate of
   pink skips’ and white weed bags for budgeting purposes. Contact your nominated Council Officer to
   arrange the collection and disposal of green waste.
   It is possible that you may find hazardous waste on site, such as asbestos. Leave any potentially
   hazardous waste undisturbed as volunteer safety is Council’s priority. Contact your nominated Council
   Officer for advice.
