Join local groups. The Chelsea Heights Facebook group and community boards are where you’ll find out about events, lost pets, and neighbourhood news before it hits the papers. Also check Nextdoor for hyperlocal updates.
Support local. The businesses on Glenferrie Place are what give Chelsea Heights its character. Use them or lose them — every dollar spent locally recirculates in the suburb economy.

Bin schedule. Green lid (general waste) is weekly. Yellow lid (recycling) and green waste alternate fortnightly. Hard rubbish collection is booked through the council — you get 4 free pickups per year.
