City of Cockburn - Wetlands to Waves

Residential Green Waste | Residential Junk | Rural Area Bulk 

This year we are trialling two Junk Waste and and two Green Waste collections.  If you require help with this calendar please contact the call centre on 9411 3444.

Verge Collection Dates for 2012/13

Please place your green waste on the verge by 6.00am on the scheduled start date for your area as the contractor will
only check the verge once.   

Allow 5-7 working days for collection.  If your green waste has NOT been collected within this timeframe, please contact
9411 3444.

Please place waste on the verge, approximately one metre back from the kerb, without obstructing footpaths or creating a safety hazard. 

Items should be placed clear of trees and sprinklers to allow pickup by mechanical means (eg BOBCAT).

Collection is limited to approximately TWO TRAILER LOADS (2.0 cubic metres) 

Excess green waste will not be taken.

Bulk Verge collections are for residential properties only and do not include commercial properties or schools.

Waste placed on the verge more than 10 days prior to your area collection commencing, or after the truck has passed, may be liable for a $200 litter infringement notice.

Flyers will NO LONGER be delivered to your letterbox to announce each bulk verge collection. Residents are therefore advised to KEEP the CALENDAR mailed to them by the City of Cockburn in mid 2012, as it contains ALL relevant information and details for the financial year 2012/13.

Residential Green Waste Collection

As the green waste is processed at the Regional Resource Recovery Centre (RRRC) green waste facility at Canning Vale, it is important that it is not contaminated with any other materials.

Residential Junk Collection Program 2011/12  *refer to above calendar for dates*

This list of dates shown here for the Junk Collection is separate to the remaining dates leading up to June 30 2011 above.
Please note that all residents will receive this information in their Waste Calendars in mid June 2011.

Please place bulk rubbish neatly on the verge in two piles, without obstructing footpaths or creating a safety hazard, as follows:

• Metal items and whitegoods suitable for scrap metal
• Furniture and general junk
• Doors MUST be detached from fridges and freezers.
• Maximum size for any items is 1.5 metres by 1.5 metres to allow pick up by bobcat and to fit into the compactor truck.

The Rural Area (11) collection is for properties NOT included in Areas 1 to 10 (ie Banjup, parts of Wattleup and parts of Jandakot).
