Pets, the green-lid bin and moving out of a St Albans rental
Brimbank City Council requires every dog and cat in St Albans aged over three months to be registered, microchipped and desexed, and you need a council permit to keep more than two cats or more than two dogs (pet registration).
In a rental, ask first: Consumer Affairs Victoria says renters need the rental provider’s permission, requested on its pet request form. Its guidance on pests and mould also gives fleas from an untreated pet as an example of a problem the renter may have to fix, so book any flea treatment well before you move out.
What the green-lid bin will and won't take
Brimbank’s food and garden organics (FOGO) bin has a bright green lid and is collected fortnightly. It’s an opt-in service with an annual fee, and the council says that if you’re renting, your landlord needs to order it on your behalf (FOGO bin).
Leaves, grass, small sticks and food scraps go in. Several things from a pet-owner’s clean-up don’t: kitty litter, animal droppings and vacuum dust are on the council’s not-accepted list, along with ashes and plastic or compostable bags. The council also says bin changes are coming from July 2027, so check its page if your move falls around then. For hard rubbish and drop-off sites, see bins, bulky waste and tips on this page.
Your cat handles the shedding; we’ll handle the vacuuming.
Mould and damp in a St Albans rental: who fixes what before you leave
Victoria’s rental minimum standards say every room must be free from mould and damp caused by or related to the building structure, and that bathrooms, toilets and laundries need adequate ventilation.
Mould that doesn’t come from the building is less clear-cut. If it grew because the bathroom fan sat unused, Consumer Affairs Victoria says the renter may be responsible; if rainwater came in through a faulty window frame, the rental provider may be (pests, infestations and mould). Report mould or rising damp to the rental provider as soon as you see it, rather than leaving it for the final clean.
Our end of lease checklist includes mould removal in the bathroom and the exhaust fan exterior. Ceiling mould is not included.

Moving day in St Albans: parking, skips and unwanted furniture
St Albans is in the area of Brimbank City Council. Here’s what it publishes about moving day.
- Brimbank doesn’t publish a moving-day parking permit.
- A skip on a road or nature strip needs a permit applied for at least 10 days before delivery.
- Council’s Reusable Goods Drop-off Day collects good furniture for charities, and it publishes an op shop guide.
In Victoria, it’s illegal to put e-waste in household rubbish, so take old electronics to an e-waste drop-off.
