The Shire provides one bulk rubbish verge collection per year for town residents.
In 2024, bulk rubbish verge collections will commence Monday 20th May, 2024. Please ensure all rubbish is placed on your verge by the day before.
Rubbish is only permitted to be placed on the verge for a maximum one week prior to collection week (you can commence placing rubbish out on 12th May, 2024).
- Place waste on the verge one metre (1m) back from the kerb, taking care not to obstruct footpaths, line of sight or create a safety hazard.
- Place items clear of vehicles, trees, water meters, fences, letterboxes, reticulation and sprinklers to allow collection without causing damage.
