Moonee Valley Transfer Station

The Transfer Station is open to all residents and trade customers.

Moonee Valley’s Transfer Station offers a community waste and recycling service for many items that can't go into recycling your bins at home. It is not a commercial waste and recycling service, only accepting vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes (dual cab utility or some light trucks).

  • Address:188 Holmes Road, Aberfeldie
  • Phone:(03) 8325 1730
  • Opening hours:  Monday to Saturday: 8am – 4pm
    Sunday: 8am – 1pm
    Closed on all public holidays.

Extreme temperature closure

The Transfer Station will close to the public when temperatures reach above 36°C in accordance with Occupational Health and Safety standards and signage will be placed on the front gate.

Fees

  • Reduce your fees by separating your load. For example, keep hard waste separate from green waste and only pay for half a load of each. Garbage that is not separated will incur higher fees.
  • A car boot load of green waste is free for residents of Moonee Valley. You must show proof of residence, for example a current photo ID or a current rates notice.
  • We do not accept trucks in excess of 2.5GVM.

Recyclables accepted

All materials must be clean and free from contamination including food, mud, dirt and liquids.

Contaminated plastics will not be recycled but sent to landfill. All materials not accepted for recycling will be charged at the appropriate rate at the Transfer Station.

Instead of throwing it away, can someone repair it?

Instead of ordering a hard waste collection or recycling/disposing of material at the Transfer Station, have you considered whether your item can be repaired? When we choose to repair, previously loved items remain ours (or somebody else’s) for years to come. If you have anything to repair or give away visit Fixable  or HYYRO
