Clearing out a Reservoir rental: what goes in which Darebin bin
Food and garden bin (green lid)
Fruit and vegetable scraps, bread, pasta and cereal, cheese, meat, bones, seafood and general leftovers can all go in. Council asks for food to go in loose, without bags or liners, even ones labelled compostable or biodegradable; you can wrap it in a few sheets of paper towel or newspaper. Liquids such as cooking oil and milk, oily pizza boxes, teabags and coffee pods stay out. Full list: Darebin food and green waste bins.
Recycling bin (yellow lid) and general waste bin (red lid)
- Recycling: laundry and bathroom bottles, hard plastic containers, glass bottles and jars, paper and cardboard, and cans, tins and foil trays (empty, but they don’t need to be totally clean). Aerosol cans must be empty, with the plastic cap removed.
- General waste: plastic bags and other soft plastics, polystyrene and packing foam, and broken glassware, including cups, plates, Pyrex, mirrors and drinking glasses, which must be wrapped.
Council’s what can go in your bins page has the full lists. Our cleaners clean; they don’t take rubbish away. You sort the bins, we’ll take care of the oven.
Before you hand back the keys in Reservoir: things left behind
Anything left in the property after you move out is covered by Victoria’s rules on goods left behind. Consumer Affairs Victoria says renters who leave goods behind should contact the rental provider as soon as possible to arrange to collect them.
- Rental providers can immediately dispose of perishable foods, dangerous goods, and goods not worth any money, other than personal documents and the goods that must be stored for at least 14 days.
- Goods that must be stored in a safe place for at least 14 days are goods that are able to be sold, labelled containers or urns containing human remains, specialised medical devices, equipment and goods (including prostheses and prescription medications), and medals and trophies. The 14 days starts from the date the rental provider first tells the renter about the goods.
- Personal documents, such as official documents, photographs, mail and material on computer hard drives, must be stored in a safe place for at least 90 days.

How Much Does Bond Cleaning Cost?
Prices depend on your location, the size and condition of the property and any extras such as carpet steam cleaning.
Leaving your rental clean
Lease end cleaning can be a daunting and time-consuming task that many tenants or landlords dread. It requires an extensive deep cleaning of the entire property, ensuring it is returned to its original condition before handover. However, there are several challenges that one might face during this process.
Limited Timeframe
One of the major challenges is the limited timeframe typically given for lease end cleaning. Tenants often have to vacate their premises within a specific deadline, leaving them with little time to thoroughly clean every nook and corner of the property. This heightened pressure can lead to subpar results and potential conflicts between tenants and landlords regarding cleanliness standards.
High Expectations
Another challenge revolves around meeting high cleanliness expectations set by landlords or property management companies. They expect the property to be spotless, with no trace of dirt or damage left behind. This level of scrutiny can cause anxiety among tenants who fear deductions from their security deposit if even minor issues arise.
Unfamiliarity with Checklist Requirements
Many lease agreements include an exhaustive checklist specifying what needs to be cleaned before moving out. Completing these requirements might pose difficulties as tenants may not fully understand certain technical terms or fail to identify hidden areas needing attention such as air vents, blinds, or baseboards.
Hiring Professional Help
To overcome these challenges effectively, hiring professional cleaners specializing in lease end cleaning services could be tremendously beneficial for both tenants and landlords alike. Professionals have experience in tackling all aspects mentioned above efficiently while adhering strictly to industry guidelines.

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 Reservoir.
