Cleaning up around the house or backyard is even easier this month with half price mattress week and free green waste week at the City of Ballarat Transfer Station.

During November, City of Ballarat Transfer Station opening hours are 8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday and 8am to 4pm, Saturday and Sunday.
