Tree Mulching<br />
Free service for your large branches
This free mulching service helps you<br />
dispose of larger branches that are not<br />
suitable for your kerbside organics bin.<br />
Up to 4 cubic metres of material<br />
accepted per household. No commercial<br />
quantities or materials from vehicles<br />
with commercial branding will be<br />
accepted. Proof of Hume residency<br />
required.<br />
Mulch is available to take home after a<br />
mulching day. If you would like to collect<br />
some mulch this can be done after<br />
2.45pm.<br />
Mulch serves several purposes. It helps<br />
to suppress weeds, slows moisture<br />
evaporation, improves soil texture and<br />
helps moderate soil temperatures.<br />
Christmas Tree Mulching<br />
Additional mulching days will be<br />
held in the first week of January<br />
to help with the disposal of<br />
Christmas trees. Visit Council’s<br />
website for details.<br />

Place your bin out by 6am on your collection day<br />
60cm<br />
Did you know you need to place your<br />
bins side by side leaving at least<br />
60cm (an arm’s length) between the<br />
bins and other objects?<br />
Bins should also be placed within one<br />
metre of the kerb with the wheels<br />
facing away from the road.<br />
If you live in a court, our drivers<br />
will place yellow dots in the areas<br />
to place your bins. This will assist<br />
us in safely collecting your bins.<br />

Collection Map - How to use the maps<br />
When is my collection date?<br />
Find the area you live in on the previous pages. Match the colour on the<br />
map where you live to the calendar below.<br />
Your garbage is collected every week on the day listed and the calendar<br />
shows the dates for your recycling collection. Your organics bin will be<br />
collected on the alternate fortnight to your recycling bin.<br />
For example, if you live in Sunbury you can check the Sunbury map for<br />
the area you live in. If you live in the northern areas of Sunbury your<br />
garbage collection will be a Wednesday each week and your recycling<br />
collection will be a Wednesday Week 2 collection - so follow the dark<br />
purple schedule in the calendar below.<br />
The calendar on the following page can be used as a quick reference<br />
guide and be placed on your fridge.<br />
If you are unsure of when your collection day visit ‘Know your bin day’<br />
on the Council’s website.<br />
Please note that collections may start earlier on days of extreme heat.<br />
