Each service has its own page with what is included, how pricing works and how to book.

Houses and units: planning a clean in Surrey Hills

  • In a four- or five-bedroom house, enter every bedroom and bathroom in the booking form so the time and price match the job, and count each carpeted room separately.
  • In a small block of units, check with your owners corporation or building manager where our cleaners can park and how equipment should come through the common areas.
  • Power and water must be connected and available for any clean, so keep the utilities on until your end of lease clean is finished.

Leftover chemicals, condensation and our cleaning services in Surrey Hills

Packing up can turn up half-used cleaning products and old paint. Whitehorse City Council’s moving-out waste flyer says toxic household chemicals can’t go in any household bin or down the drain; drop them at a free Detox Your Home event instead. It also says batteries can’t go in any bin because they can cause fires, and that booked hard waste goes on the nature strip the weekend before your collection week, no earlier, with the ‘BOOKED’ sticker visible from the road. Bin days, hard waste and tips for both councils are in bins, bulky waste and tips in Surrey Hills.

Mould is the other thing worth catching before an inspection. The Better Health Channel lists condensation from cooking, showering and drying clothes as common causes, and suggests exhaust fans or open windows, wiping condensation off windows and shower glass, and moving furniture away from walls. Consumer Affairs Victoria says renters should tell the rental provider about mould or damp straight away: a renter may be responsible if mould formed because the bathroom fan wasn’t used, and the rental provider if a building fault, such as a leaking window frame, caused it.

Bins, bulky waste and tips in Surrey Hills

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.

Surrey Hills is split between City of Boroondara and Whitehorse 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 Boroondara

The City of Boroondara runs household bins, booked hard waste collections and the Boroondara Recycling and Waste Centre.

Check your bin collection day Find your bin day by address.

Households have a dark-green- or red-lid household waste bin (every 2 weeks), a lime-green-lid food and garden organics (FOGO) bin (weekly) and a yellow-lid recycling bin.

Hard waste collection

  • Who and how much: residential properties whose general waste bins are collected by the council can book 2 free hard waste collections each financial year. There is no annual street-wide collection; every collection is booked.
  • Limits: a pile of up to 2 cubic metres; items no longer than 150 cm (except mattresses) that two people can lift; sorted into general items, mattresses, e-waste and large metal.
  • Not collected: fences and pallets, building and renovation materials, gas bottles, plasterboard and asbestos, paint and chemicals, bricks and rubble, broken glass, tyres, batteries, household rubbish and recycling. Full list.
  • Waiting time: the council says demand is high and there may be a few weeks between booking and collection. Changes or cancellations need at least 2 business days’ notice.
  • Apartments: in blocks of 14 or fewer units with council-collected bins, residents book for their own unit; in blocks of 15 or more units, the body corporate books.
  • Book: online booking form; items put out without a booking are treated as dumped rubbish.

Tips, transfer stations and drop-off

  • Boroondara Recycling and Waste Centre (transfer station), 648 Riversdale Road, Camberwell. Hours: Monday to Friday 1 pm to 4 pm; Saturday 8 am to 4 pm; Sunday 8 am to 4 pm for green waste and recyclables only; closed Good Friday, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

Free drop-off of recycling-bin items (cans, cardboard, glass, hard plastics, paper). No rubbish, furniture, mattresses or e-waste. What it takes

Planning a move-out

Because the council says there can be a few weeks between booking and collection, book hard waste as soon as you know your moving date and have it collected before your end of lease clean and key handover. If the collection would be too late, take items to the Boroondara Recycling and Waste Centre (fees apply) or arrange a rubbish removal service.

Moving day in Surrey Hills: parking, skips and unwanted furniture

Surrey Hills is split between the City of Boroondara and Whitehorse City Council. Check which council collects your bins, then follow that council’s rules below.

  • City of Boroondara: Boroondara doesn’t publish a moving-day parking permit, and its tradesperson permit excludes heavy or long vehicles.
  • City of Boroondara: Only registered skip companies can apply for a skip permit on a road or Council land. Shipping containers on Council land need a road and footpath occupancy permit.
  • City of Boroondara: Council lists local op shops, free collection of donated goods by Sacred Heart Mission’s op shops, and the Boroondara Hard Rubbish Rehome group.
  • Whitehorse City Council: Whitehorse’s Service Residential Parking Permit gives short-term exemptions (up to a month) from timed restrictions for residents on restricted streets, with quotes or receipts as evidence; the page doesn’t mention removalists by name.
  • Whitehorse City Council: A skip or shipping container on Council land needs a permit applied for by the contractor, at least 48 business hours ahead.
  • Whitehorse City Council: Council suggests op shops, charity furniture collection and the Eastern Emergency Relief Network for usable furniture and whitegoods, and has a moving-out flyer.

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