Green Waste
When will my green waste be collected?
Green waste collections occur twice a year, in spring and autumn. There is a maximum limit of 6 cubic metres of green waste per property (approximately three 6x3 trailer loads). Anything over this limit will not be collected.
Flyers advising your collection dates are delivered around ten days prior to the collection.
Are there any items that will not be collected?
Items that will not be collected include:
- boxes containing anything other than green waste
- green waste contaminated with rubbish
- large tree trunks or stumps
- branches/limbs longer than 1.5m (5 feet) or 150mm diameter (6 inches)
- garden chemicals or associated products such as pots, soil and reticulation
- general household rubbish, treated wood or junk

How do I ensure my green waste is collected?
- Ensure trimmed tree branches are a maximum of 1.5m (5 feet) and 150mm (6 inches) in diameter.
- Place branches in neat piles with cut ends towards the street.
- Place lawn clippings, leaves and cuttings in cardboard boxes with your property address clearly marked on them. Do not use plastic bags.
- When placing your green waste on the verge please do not obstruct the footpath, sprinkler systems or interrupt your normal bin service.
