Bulk Waste Collection and Drop-Off  

Bulk Waste Verge Collection

The City advises that bulk waste collection dates for the 2026/27 financial year are not yet available.

The City is currently undertaking a Request for Tender to appoint a provider for bulk waste collection and disposal services. As a result, collection schedules for 2026/27 have not yet been finalised.

Once the procurement process has been completed and service arrangements confirmed, collection dates will be published on the City's website and communicated through the City's usual channels.

The City appreciates the community's patience and understanding and will provide further information as soon as it becomes available.

Residents may utilise the West Metro Recycling Centre in Shenton Park to dispose of a number of items for free. Visit wmrc.wa.gov.au for more information.

The invasive pest polyphagous shot-hole borer has been detected in the Perth metropolitan area, and a quarantine area has been implemented to help protect WA’s forests, food and agriculture industries. All green waste should be securely contained for transport in a covered trailer, truck or skip bin. For more information, visit the Polyphagous shot-hole borer webpage
