Cats, spring pollen and shower mould: looking after a Cheltenham rental

Two councils, two cat rules

Which cat rule applies in Cheltenham depends on the council that collects your bins. The City of Kingston asks owners to keep cats securely confined to their property between sunset and sunrise. Bayside City Council’s cat curfew runs from 6pm to 6am, or from 9pm to 6am during daylight saving.

Want a pet in a Victorian rental? Consumer Affairs Victoria says you fill in a separate pet request form for each animal, and the rental provider has 14 days to decide. Moving out with a cat or dog? Add carpet steam cleaning to your end of lease booking and mention the pets in the booking form’s instructions field.

Moving between October and December

The Better Health Channel says Victoria’s grass pollen season usually runs from 1 October to 31 December, and suggests the Melbourne Pollen Count and Forecast to stay informed.

Mould in the bathroom: whose job is it?

Consumer Affairs Victoria says the law doesn’t always decide who pays. A renter may be responsible for mould that formed because the bathroom fan wasn’t used, while a rental provider may be responsible when a fault such as a leaking window frame let water in. If you see mould or damp, tell the rental provider straight away. Our end of lease checklist includes bathroom mould removal, though not ceiling mould.

Emptying the drinks cupboard before you go? EPA Victoria’s container deposit scheme pays a refund for drink cans, bottles and cartons returned for recycling. Hard waste bookings, bin days and the Bayside Waste and Recycling Centre are under bins, bulky waste and tips on this page.

We also clean in Moorabbin, Beaumaris, Mordialloc and Dingley Village. Every area is listed on our Melbourne cleaning services page.

Bins, bulky waste and tips in Cheltenham

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.

Cheltenham is split between City of Kingston and Bayside 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 Kingston

The City of Kingston runs household bins and on-call hard waste collections. It does not run its own tip; it lists nearby transfer stations.

  • Council (general enquiries, bins and hard waste) 1300 653 356

Check your bin collection day Check your bin day by address, in the council’s waste app or on its collection map.

Households have a red-lid landfill bin (weekly), a yellow-lid recycling bin (fortnightly) and a green-lid food and garden waste bin (fortnightly).

Residents of large multi-unit buildings with private waste collection can’t use the council’s hard waste service: contact your property manager or owners corporation.

Hard waste (on-call collection)

  • Who and how much: residential properties using council bins get two free collections per financial year, separately (up to 2 m × 1 m × 1 m) or together as a double (up to 4 m × 1 m × 1 m). Extra bookings cost $95 each.
  • Limits: each item under 40 kg and no longer than 1.5 m (mattresses any size, 2 per booking).
  • Not collected: asbestos, batteries, broken glass, building and renovation materials, tyres, chemicals and liquids, commercial waste, doors, fencing, household rubbish, garden waste, gas cylinders, paint and oil, polystyrene, soil and solar panels. Full list.

Planning a move-out

Moving day in Cheltenham: parking, skips and unwanted furniture

Cheltenham is split between the City of Kingston and Bayside City Council. Check which council collects your bins, then follow that council’s rules below.

  • City of Kingston: Kingston doesn’t publish a moving-day parking permit; its works zones are for construction sites.
  • City of Kingston: A skip on a road or Council land needs a permit from the skip company (allow up to three business days). A storage or shipping container on a Council road needs a permit with at least 10 days’ notice.
  • City of Kingston: Council’s furniture guide points to op shops and online resale; there’s no Council tip shop.
  • Bayside City Council: Bayside doesn’t publish a moving-day parking permit.
  • Bayside City Council: Skips need a 7-day permit requested by a Council-registered skip company (keep 1.2 m of footpath clear). Shipping containers and storage pods can’t go on Council land; the container permit covers private property only.
  • Bayside City Council: Council publishes a list of op shops in and around Bayside, by suburb, for donating furniture and homewares.

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