EXCEPTION FOR GREEN WASTE BINS:

DO NOT put Moth Vine (Araujia sericifera) weeds and pods into the green waste.

There are some exceptions to putting garden waste n the green waste bins or skips. One that has been seen around the edges of Hamilton Park is Moth Vine. This vine’s fruit resembles chokos but the pod is filled with hundreds of toxic seeds. And the weed itself is also toxic to humans and animals. Take care if handling / removing.

If you find this weed in or around your home, do not just yank it out. You should wear personal protective equipment when handling this weed. See For more detail on the weed and how to handle it if you find it on your property, see the NSW Weed Wise page for information on the weed and removal techniques, or contact a gardening company. If on ACT government land, contact ACT government through Fix My Street and place information on the Canberra Nature Map site if inclined.

Any additional questions or concerns can be made through the contact page.
Thank you
