About Your Bulk Collection

Place your materials out for collection as specified to ensure public safety and prevention of property damage.

• Bulk rubbish must not be placed on verges more than 7 days prior to your collection (penalties apply).

• Ensure your bulk collection materials are no more than 6m3 combined.

• Place your bulk rubbish on your verge before 6am on the Monday of your collection week.

• Check that pedestrians, cyclists and motorists still have clear visibility.

• Keep rubbish clear of the footpath and place only on the verge adjacent to your property.

• The bulk rubbish is not to be placed on the reserves, vacant land, parks or median strips. Putting bulk waste out early is a littering offence.

• Household items, greenwaste, metals, electronic waste (e-waste) and mattresses are to be placed in separate piles.

• Bulk rubbish is collected by machinery. Keep rubbish one metre clear of sprinklers, flower beds, water meters, power poles and street signs to avoid any damage during the collection process.

For bulk collection enquiries contact West Tip on 9249 1100

The city will only collect 6m3 of combined waste from the verge.
