Disgruntled Morwell residents are demanding money from the upcoming state budget to clean their ash-filled homes following the Hazelwood coal mine fire disaster.

Latrobe Valley residents will descend on a coal conference in Melbourne on Monday, calling on the state government to redirect millions of dollars in coal subsidies to decontaminate their homes and rehabilitate unused parts of the mine.

The fire started on February 9 and shrouded the nearby community of Morwell in thick smoke and ash for weeks, forcing many residents to leave town.

Despite the provision of clean-up kits and home-cleaning services for the disadvantaged, residents have been spending thousands of dollars on commercial cleaning.
