Verge Collection
From 3 July 2025, residents in the City of South Perth will transition to a pre-booked verge collection service through Verge Valet™.
Each financial year you can access:
- two green waste verge collections, and
- one bulk waste verge collection
Additional collections can be booked for a charge.
Our pre-booked Verge Valet™ service replaces traditional fixed date scheduled green waste and bulk waste verge collections.
