Rubbish and Recycling Video

​

General Household Rubbish

General household rubbish should be collected in a plastic bag and placed in the rubbish chute that is located on each floor inside the stairwell entrance on the west side of the building. 
 
The bag should be closed by a drawstring and be small enough to easily slide down the chute. which leads to a rubbish compactor that is located on the ground floor.
​
Do not force large bags into the chute.
 
Please do not place any loose rubbish in the chute.  Please do not force any cardboard boxes into the chute, as these will block the system.
 
Please do not place any light materials into the chute as they will be drawn up and block the ventilation system designed to prevent bad odours from entering the building.

  

Hard Rubbish And Large Cardboard Boxes

There is one large skip for hard rubbish and another one for large cardboard items located on the ground floor near the entrance to the lower ground carpark at the south end of the building. 

For large hard rubbish removal, such as furniture and whitegoods, please contact the city of Port Philip. Once booked, please contact a member of the team, with at least 24 hours notice.
 
Please ask the Building Manager to show you the location of these bins.

Furniture and Large Items

Aurora has only one lift suitable for movement of furniture and large items so reservation of that lift is a requirement, both to avoid conflicts between residents wanting to move on the same day and because protection pads need to be set up in the lift before a move starts.
 
Please contact the Building Manager at least 48 hours before the intended move.
 
Furniture and large items are to be moved in and out of the building via the loading bay and the ground floor carpark; not via the main entrance nor via carparks and lift lobbies. 
 
Hours for furniture/large item movements are:
 
Arranged in 2 slots:
​
Monday to Friday:
9:00 am to 12:00 pm OR 1 pm to 4 pm.

Saturday:

Sunday & Public Holidays:

Removalists are required to provide evidence of insurance to the Building Manager prior to operating within Aurora and the person initiating the move is required to accept responsibility for any building damage caused by the removalist.

Recycle

Lift for furniture and large items

Small recyclable items should be placed into one of the green recycle bins that are located on each of the building’s parking levels. Recyclable items must not be packed into plastic bags but placed directly into the recycle bins. Please place empty plastic bags in the bin provided.
 
Space in the recycle bins is limited so please collapse boxes before putting them into bins.
 
The green bins are for small recyclable items only; there are other facilities provided for hard rubbish and large cardboard boxes.
