This year’s bulk waste verge collection will operate differently to previous years due to a change in contractor, which has resulted in changes to scheduling and collection patterns. Collections can also be impacted by weather, volume and operational factors.
To help collection run smoothly, please place your green waste on the verge by 6.00 am on the Monday of your collection week. Only place material out seven days before the collection commencement date for your area.
