Grass pollen season in Carlton: household habits worth knowing

In Victoria, the grass pollen season usually runs from 1 October to 31 December, and the Better Health Channel notes that thunderstorm asthma during this time can affect people with asthma or hay fever.

Its hay fever fact sheet lists a few habits around the home for people with hay fever: wash sheets, pillowcases and other bedding weekly in hot water, dry bedding and clothing inside or in a tumble dryer, and stay indoors where you can during pollen season, particularly on windy days or after thunderstorms.

Moving out between October and December? Our end of lease checklist already takes in the inside window tracks and wipes down split-system air conditioners with the filter cleaned. Blinds and carpet steam cleaning are extras you can add when you book.

Leftover chemicals, paint and e-waste when you move out of Carlton

Bulky items and bin days are covered in bins, bulky waste and tips in Carlton. The half-used bottles under the sink need a different route, because the Victorian Government’s Detox Your Home program says hazardous household chemicals should never go in a rubbish bin or down the drain.

  • Bleach, oven cleaner, insect sprays and rust remover: take them to a free Detox Your Home event. Register first; any Victorian can attend any event, and a single container can be up to 20 kg or 20 L.
  • Paint: the City of Melbourne’s A–Z guide to recycling and waste disposal points to Paintback drop-off locations. Empty paint tins can go in the yellow-lid recycling bin with the lids off.
  • Empty aerosol cans: the yellow-lid recycling bin.
  • Small e-waste and household batteries: the City lists the Kathleen Syme Library and Community Centre in Carlton among its drop-off points for e-waste that fits in a 240 L household bin.

No need to keep any cleaning products back for the final clean: our cleaners bring their own products and equipment. We also clean in Parkville, Fitzroy, North Melbourne and Collingwood; every area is on our Melbourne cleaning services page.

Moving day in Carlton: parking, skips and unwanted furniture

Carlton is in the area of the City of Melbourne. Here’s what it publishes about moving day.

  • The City of Melbourne’s reserved parking permits cover removalists when off-street parking isn’t suitable. Apply at least five clear business days ahead; residents get 50% off for a removalist outside their own home.
  • A skip on a public road needs a skip permit, which the skip company applies for. Reserved parking permits don’t cover skips.
  • The City asks residents to donate, give away or sell hard-waste items in good condition before booking a collection.

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

Renting in Carlton

At the 2021 Census, 1.3% of occupied homes in Carlton were separate houses, 17.1% semi-detached, terrace or townhouses and 80.7% flats or apartments; 72.3% were rented.

With so many apartments, check whether your building asks you to book the lift or loading bay for moving day, and how keys, fobs and remotes are returned. Ask your building manager or owners corporation rather than assuming. When you know your moving and inspection dates, see end of lease cleaning in Carlton and our guide to moving out and getting your bond back.
