For information relating to your waste collection refer to your 2024-2025 Waste Guide
Please place your waste on the verge by 6am Monday of the scheduled start dates as the contractor will only service your verge once. Please ensure waste is not placed any earlier than one week prior to collection (for residential properties only).
Green Waste Collection
Green waste can be placed on the verge up to seven (7) days prior to the collection date. Green waste placed on the verge earlier than this date may attract a notice from our Rangers requesting removal.
Please note that Verge Collections in the Town are for residential properties only. Commercial properties and Clubs are required to arrange their own green waste disposal as needed.
Polyphagous Shothole Borer (PSHB)
Before disposal, please remember to inspect all green waste for potential signs of PSHB. If you notice signs of borer, kindly retain the green waste inside your property boundary and promptly contact DPIRD on 9368 3080.
