Damp, mould and packed boxes: getting a Parkville home ready to hand back

The Better Health Channel lists carpet, curtains, plasterboard and even paper, cardboard, books and boxes among the materials it can live on, and it only grows where a surface is damp or the air is humid. Worth keeping in mind if packed boxes will sit against a wall for a while.

Among the causes it names are cupboards, corners and furniture pushed against uninsulated outside walls, where air doesn’t circulate. Its suggestions include moving furniture away from the walls, and opening a door or window, which it calls the cheapest and easiest way to reduce moisture. If you use an evaporative cooler, follow the manufacturer’s instructions, because these coolers add moisture to indoor air.

Renting? Victoria’s rental minimum standards require all rooms to be free from mould and damp caused by or related to the building structure. Better Health adds that the owner should fix mould caused by faults such as gutters, while the tenant should use the extractor fans and air the home regularly.

Our end of lease checklist covers bathroom mould removal (ceiling mould isn’t included) and the outside of the exhaust fan. You pack the boxes; we’ll take care of the shower screen.

Moving boxes, mattresses and bedding: what Parkville's two councils suggest

Parkville is split between the City of Melbourne and Merri-bek City Council, so check which council collects from your street first (see bins, bulky waste and tips in Parkville). Their recycling guides treat the usual move-out leftovers a little differently.

  • Cardboard boxes: the City of Melbourne’s A–Z guide says the yellow-lid recycling bin, or a free drop-off at the Dynon Road Waste and Recycling Centre with proof of address. Merri-bek’s recycling A to Z guide lists the mixed recycling bin, a bundled cardboard collection with a booked hard waste collection, or a resource recovery centre. Waxed cardboard boxes go in the general rubbish bin.
  • Mattresses: the City of Melbourne suggests donating or selling one in good condition, or dropping it at Dynon Road, where charges may apply. Merri-bek lists hard waste and Soft Landing among its options.
  • Sheets, blankets and bedding: the City of Melbourne says blankets and bedding can’t be recycled and go in the red-lid general waste bin. Merri-bek suggests donating manchester to charity, but notes that pillow fillings and feather doonas aren’t accepted.

We also clean in Carlton, North Melbourne, Brunswick and Kensington; see every area on our Melbourne cleaning services page.

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

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.

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.
