Nillumbik Shire Council is supporting the community with a free green waste drop off day on Sunday 15 November.
The event is being held to assist Nillumbik residents who have accumulated green waste during the COVID-19 restrictions and to help prepare properties for the bushfire season.

The free green waste drop-off day will operate with a COVID-safe plan. Residents must follow directions on signage and provided by staff.
