Rapid Response Clean Team
A new Rapid Response Clean Team is patrolling the CBD and responding in real time to requests for street cleaning and graffiti removal, to make our city sparkle.
Keeping your neighbourhood clean
Residential streets are cleaned every week and those in the central city area are cleaned every day. High usage areas are cleaned many times a day.
We will remove or clean up:
- litter and rubbish
- rubble, dirt and silt
- oil or hazardous spills
- animal droppings, dead animals and dog waste
- weeds, leaves, small tree branches and pollen
- bodily wastes including faeces, blood and vomit
- illegally dumped commercial or domestic waste, including cigarette butts, milk crates, mattresses and hard waste.
To help keep streets free of litter, we’ve installed almost 450 solar smart bins, 2000 public litter bins and 500 cigarette butt bins around the City of Melbourne. These bins are provided in strategic locations for the general public to dispose of litter and recycling items. These bins should not be used for the disposal of household and commercial waste and recycling. Residents and businesses should use their own bins to dispose of waste and recycling material.
Residents can contact City of Melbourne to access our residential waste and recycling services. Businesses can visit commercial waste and recycling services to find out more.
