- 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 6 cubic metres of green waste.
- Excess waste will not be collected (waste over the size limit or volume limit).
- Green waste can be placed out two weeks prior, however is best placed on the verge the weekend prior to your start date.
