Green Waste Collection
The City provides two green waste collections per calendar year, in addition to access to the Roleystone Greenwaste Facility and the Armadale Landfill and Recycling Facility (conditions apply).
To ensure collection, please place green waste clear of obstacles such as vehicles, trees, water meters, power domes, fences, letterboxes, and reticulation.
Note: Artificial turf is not a permitted verge treatment within the City's verge treatment guidelines. Consequently, the City and its contractors are not responsible for damage that may occur to artificial turf during green waste verge collections.
Green waste we collect:
A maximum of 4.5 cubic metres of tree branches and shrub prunings
Maximum length 1.5 metres (5 feet)
Maximum diameter 150mm (6 inches)
Place cut ends towards the street.
Green waste must be loose: do not use string, rope, rachet straps, tie downs, fishing line or wire

Guidelines to ensure waste is collected
Have green waste out before your scheduled start date for your area. The contractor will only check the verge once and the collection will start from 7am on the Monday, continuing in the area until all green waste presented is collected.
If you are sharing a verge with a neighbour, notify the City before your collection starts.
Place waste on the verge one metre (1m) back from the kerb, taking care not to obstruct footpaths, bus shelters, 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.
Make sure there is no more than 4.5 cubic metres of green waste. It must be loose and not secured with ties of any kind.
Excess waste will not be collected (waste over the size limit or volume limit).
Green waste can be placed out two days prior, or the weekend prior to your start date.
Nomination for alternative collection location must be completed and lodged with the City 2 weeks prior to scheduled collection date. (A new request form must be sent for EVERY Verge Collection for assessment).

You live on a battleaxe block, or back on to a laneway, AND
