What matters for waste & environmental in Geelong

  • Unlicensed asbestos removal in a Victorian workplace is capped twice over. Regulation 250 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations 2017 allows no more than 10 square metres of non-friable material in total and no more than one hour of asbestos removal work in any seven day period. The time cap does not exist in the other states.

  • EPA Victoria tells customers what to ask for. Your removalist should hold a permission to transport reportable priority waste, use Waste Tracker, and give you the Waste Tracker waste record showing the asbestos reached a lawful place.

  • There is no Victorian law requiring a council to run a hard waste collection. The Victorian Auditor-General found only 43 of 79 councils offered one at all in 2019-20, some as a whole-suburb kerbside pick-up and some as an on-call booking, so check your own council before you plan a clear-out.

  • EPA Victoria holds the registered owner responsible if a passenger throws litter from their vehicle. From 1 July 2026 that is $418 for an individual for litter under 50 litres, $836 if it is dangerous litter, and $2,091 or $4,182 for a company.
