Kerbside waste collection and street sweeping
Yarra City Council, like many businesses across Victoria, is experiencing increase pressure on some of our day to day services. As a result, residents and business may see some small changes or impacts to our services during this time.
Two areas which have experienced impacts are our kerbside waste collection and street sweeping services.
While we do not expect any cancellation of services, there may be some delays in collection or minor alterations in our regular schedule. We are working with our contractors to minimise these impacts and ensure all collections continue.
We are continuing to monitor the situation and will inform the community of any further impacts as quickly as possible.
If your bin has been missed please report the missed collection using this form.
All other services
- Planning, building, animal management, and parking and traffic services operate as normal. There may be some ongoing delays to hard waste collection.
