Verge Side Collection
Residents in the City of South Perth will be provided with two green waste verge side collections per year (spring and autumn). Dates for the 2025 autumn green waste collection are in the table below. Spring green waste collection will be confirmed closer to the date.
Hard Waste Collection
There will be no hard waste verge collection this year as there are no contractors available to provide this service for our community. As we explore and evaluate new waste management options, stay informed by signing up to mySnapshot for the latest updates.
Green Waste Collection
Place your green waste out for collection neatly on the verge by 7am on the scheduled start date for your area (including public holidays). Waste should be put out no earlier than one week before the collection commencement date.
- vacant lots
