Cat curfews, damp bathrooms and the green bin: moving out in Fairfield

Whichever council collects your bins, the cat rule is the same at night. Darebin’s cat curfew runs from 7pm to 7am every day of the year, and Yarra requires cats to stay within their property between 7pm and 7am. Cats keep the curfew; their fur keeps its own hours. Before the inspection, add carpet steam cleaning and tell us about pets in the booking notes.

Clearing out the litter tray and the fridge? On the Darebin side, the food and green waste bin doesn’t take cat litter, even if it’s labelled compostable, or pet droppings. Food scraps go in loose, without bags or caddy liners, though a few sheets of paper towel or newspaper are fine for wrapping. Liquids such as milk and cooking oil stay out too. Hard rubbish and the tip are covered in bins, bulky waste and tips on this page.

Mould before the final inspection

If you can see or smell mould, the Better Health Channel advises cleaning it up straight away, with good ventilation and protective clothing. Renters should run extractor fans and air the home regularly; if mould keeps coming back after that, raise it with the owner. Our end of lease bathroom clean includes mould removal, but not ceiling mould.

Bins, bulky waste and tips in Fairfield

Useful if you are moving in or out. Collection days, hard waste rules and tip fees are set by the council or government service responsible for your address, so use their official links below.

Fairfield is split between Darebin City Council and Yarra City Council. To find out which council collects from your street, use each council’s bin collection lookup below or the Victorian Government’s Know Your Council search, then follow that council’s details.

  • Who and how much: residential properties with the kerbside waste charge get one free booked collection of up to 2 cubic metres per financial year (the allowance belongs to the property, so a new occupant may find it already used).

  • Limits: items under 1.5 m that two people can lift, nothing over 30 kg; at most two mattresses or bases.

Moving day in Fairfield: parking, skips and unwanted furniture

Fairfield is split between Darebin City Council and Yarra City Council. Check which council collects your bins, then follow that council’s rules below.

  • Darebin City Council: Darebin’s service parking permit is for residents within 100 m of timed or permit zones (up to 4 weeks), with proof of residence and of the work. Council’s parking permit policy lets a removalist apply with your written consent.
  • Darebin City Council: Skips on public roads or land need a permit (up to 7 days), and occupying Council land or a road needs a permit applied for at least 7 days ahead.
  • Darebin City Council: Council’s Recycled Goods Shop at the Darebin Resource Recovery Centre in Reservoir takes good-condition furniture.
  • Yarra City Council: Yarra’s parking bay occupation permit can be used for moving house, for vehicles up to 4.5 tonnes and 7.5 m long. Apply at least 5 business days ahead; it isn’t available in no-stopping, loading or short-term (under 1P) zones and doesn’t reserve a specific bay.
  • Yarra City Council: Shipping containers and storage pods need a separate road occupation permit, and skips on Council land need a permit from a registered skip company (usually issued within 24 hours).

In Victoria, it’s illegal to put e-waste in household rubbish, so take old electronics to an e-waste drop-off.
