Bins, bulky waste and tips in Parkville

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.

Parkville is split between City of Melbourne and Merri-bek 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.

City of Melbourne

The City of Melbourne runs household bins, hard waste collections and the Dynon Road Waste and Recycling Centre.

  • Council (general enquiries and bins, 7.30 am to 6 pm weekdays) 03 9658 9658

Check your bin collection day Find your collection days on the council’s collection map and area calendars.

Households with council bins have a red-lid general waste bin (weekly), a yellow-lid recycling bin (fortnightly) and a lime-green-lid food and garden organics (FOGO) bin (weekly).

Most residents live in apartments, where bins may be in a bin room or use chutes: ask your building manager or owners corporation where the bins are and when they are collected.

Hard waste collection

  • Who and how much: one free collection of 1 cubic metre (1 m × 1 m × 1 m) per residential address each financial year. Commercial and retail addresses are not eligible.
  • Limits: no item over 30 kg; timber under 1 m (at most 10 pieces); rugs no more than 1.5 m.
  • Not collected: branches, building and renovation waste (including toilets and carpet), fencing, liquids, chemicals and paint, household rubbish and recycling, polystyrene, bricks and soil, asbestos and other hazardous waste, tyres and broken glass. Full list.
  • Booking notice: bookings are essential, and collection dates are released two months in advance. Put items out the day before.

Developments of four or more homes share some bins.

In multi-unit developments with council bins, each unit can book its own hard waste collection.

Booked hard waste collection

  • Not collected: asbestos, chemicals, fuels, building and renovation materials, tyres, batteries, paint and oil, gas bottles, commercial waste, and household rubbish or recycling. Full list.

Moving day in Parkville: parking, skips and unwanted furniture

Parkville is split between the City of Melbourne and Merri-bek City Council. Check which council collects your bins, then follow that council’s rules below.

  • City of Melbourne: 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.
  • City of Melbourne: A skip on a public road needs a skip permit, which the skip company applies for. Reserved parking permits don’t cover skips.
  • City of Melbourne: The City asks residents to donate, give away or sell hard-waste items in good condition before booking a collection.
  • Merri-bek City Council: In streets with timed parking, removalists can use a Merri-bek service permit to park all day (up to 4 weeks). You can apply, or the removalist can with your written consent; attach proof of address and the removalist’s quote. It doesn’t allow parking in clearways, no-stopping or loading zones.
  • Merri-bek City Council: Skips need a permit arranged by an accredited hire company (7 days’ notice before each placement) and aren’t allowed on footpaths or nature strips. Shipping containers can’t be stored on roads or public land.
  • Merri-bek City Council: Council’s “Donate your goods” advice names the Brotherhood of St Laurence and St Vincent de Paul furniture collections, and reminds you not to leave donations outside closed charity shops.

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

Renting in Parkville

At the 2021 Census, 2.2% of occupied homes in Parkville were separate houses, 36.1% semi-detached, terrace or townhouses and 61.5% flats or apartments; 64.1% 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 Parkville and our guide to moving out and getting your bond back.
