Hard rubbish before you leave South Yarra: check which council collects it
South Yarra is split between two councils: the City of Stonnington covers parts of it and the City of Melbourne covers the rest. Hard rubbish rules depend on which side your rental is on.
In the City of Melbourne part of South Yarra
If your rental is on the City of Melbourne side, its hard waste service is for residents: commercial or retail addresses are not entitled to a collection. The council takes small rugs no more than 1.5 m long if they’re rolled and taped and tied, and timber less than 1 m in length, up to 10 pieces per premises. If a booked collection hasn’t been picked up by 4pm on the day, you can report it online.
In the City of Stonnington part of South Yarra
Stonnington has two scheduled hard waste collections every year, in spring and autumn. Residents can also purchase a booked collection outside those area-wide collections, paid at the time of booking. Its rules include:
- individual items must weigh less than 20 kilograms;
- items must be shorter than 1.5 metres long, except mattresses, which must be placed separately with nothing on top;
- items go out the front of your property on the nature strip, no more than 24 hours before your collection date;
- if you live in a large apartment building, contact your owners’ corporation to book a collection for you; Stonnington says these bookings can only be made during its usual autumn and spring hard waste collection times.
Leaving a South Yarra apartment: owners corporation rules
Consumer Affairs Victoria says an owners corporation that makes its own rules should use the headings in the model rules, with a clear statement about whether each model rule applies.
- Rule 4.1(7): the owners corporation may impose reasonable conditions on a lot owner’s right or an occupier’s right to access or use common property to protect the quiet enjoyment, safety and security of other lot owners, including but not limited to imposing operating hours on facilities such as gymnasiums and swimming pools.
- Rule 6.1: an owner or occupier of a lot must take all reasonable steps to ensure that guests of the owner or occupier do not behave in a manner likely to unreasonably interfere with the peaceful enjoyment of any other person entitled to use the common property.
This is general information, not legal advice.
Power and water must be connected and available for the clean.

Rubbish and unwanted items before you move out
Arrange removal of rubbish and unwanted furniture before your end of lease clean and key handover. South Yarra is split between councils, and each sets its own hard waste booking rules, so check yours early in case the next available collection is after your moving date.
For each council’s bin collection lookup, hard waste rules and drop-off sites, see bins, bulky waste and tips in South Yarra.
Getting your bond back in South Yarra
- Refund: Victorian bonds are held by the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA). When you and your rental provider agree, the RTBA usually repays the bond within one business day.
- Evidence that helps: your entry condition report, the final inspection and dated photos taken when you leave.
More detail: moving out and claiming your rental bond.

Before your final inspection
In Victoria, renters must leave the property reasonably clean, with fair wear and tear excepted, and the condition report from the start of the agreement is the reference. Since 29 March 2021 a rental provider can only require professional cleaning at the end of the tenancy if the property was professionally cleaned immediately before you moved in and you were told, or if it is needed to return the property to its condition at the start, allowing for fair wear and tear. Carpet steam cleaning can be added to your end of lease clean in the same booking: see carpet cleaning in South Yarra.
