The City has a bi-annual bulk green waste verge collection, with one in December 2023 and the second due in May 2024 .
There will be no limit to the quantity of loose green waste that can be presented in large piles for these collections (not in green waste bags). Loose green waste should be placed on verges on the evening before pick-up.
The next bulk green waste collection will take place on Monday 11 December 2023.
In line with the national B-cycle scheme, the City encourages residents to take dead batteries to the West Metro Recycling Centre, or participating Bunnings and Woolworths stores. The metals inside will be recovered and they'll be given a new life as tools, computer parts, or brand-new batteries.
