The City of Ballarat will once again help Ballarat residents prepare their properties this fire season during its annual free green waste week.
With the fire danger period now in place in the City of Ballarat, it is time to identify risks on your property and prepare to reduce the spread, speed and intensity of fire by clearing your property of long grass and flammable material.
Between Saturday 24 November and Friday 30 November residents are welcome to drop off domestic green waste free of charge at City of Ballarat Transfer Station, Gillies Street South.
Transfer Station opening hours are 8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday and 10am to 4pm, Saturday and Sunday.
Green waste must be separated from other waste and loads must not exceed three cubic metres. Residents who bring non-green waste and mixed loads will be charged at normal rates.
The following week, Saturday 1 December to Friday 7 December is discount mattress week.
During this week only, residents planning on buying a new mattress over Christmas can dispose of their old one at the transfer station for $15, which is half the normal price.
