City of Hume — Commercial Waste Rules

Somerton falls under the City of Hume local government area.

  • General Waste: Council does not provide waste collection for commercial or industrial properties. Businesses in Campbellfield, Somerton, and Broadmeadows industrial precincts must contract licensed private waste operators.
  • Recycling: Commercial recycling not provided by council. Businesses must arrange through private contractors. Hume has a strong focus on diversion from landfill given the proximity to local landfill sites.
  • Organics: FOGO available for residential properties. Commercial food waste and green waste must be arranged privately.
  • Hard Waste: No commercial hard waste service. Residential ratepayers receive 2 booked hard waste collections per year.

Commercial and industrial premises must comply with EPA Victoria EP Act 2017. Hume contains major industrial precincts including Campbellfield, Somerton, and Broadmeadows with heavy manufacturing and logistics. Prescribed industrial waste generators must register with EPA Victoria and use WasteTracker. Hume's proximity to Ravenhall and Bulla landfills means strict odour and dust management requirements apply.
