Green waste collection

Your green waste collection is for organic garden material like weeds, leaves, grass clippings, and branches under 1.5 metres and 30cm diameter. See a full list of what’s accepted.

We can collect a pile of green waste up to 3 metres wide x 1 metre deep x 1 metre high. Please place smaller clippings under larger branches or inside an open cardboard box if you are concerned about them blowing away.

Small garden clippings can be placed in your green lid FOGO bin any time, along with food scraps. These are collected every week and turned into high quality compost.

Bulk waste collection

Your bulk waste collection is for general household junk that is no longer usable. Items like furniture, mattresses, and electronic appliances can be picked up. See a full list of what’s accepted.

Each collection can be up to up to 3 metres wide x 1 metres deep x 1 metre high.   

Other options

Waste disposal centres in Balcatta, Shenton Park and Mindarie are open to City of Vincent residents. Find out more.

We also have a number of options available to dispose of hazardous household products including paints, solvents, pesticides and batteries. These should never be placed in your kerbside bins as they are a safety risk. Find out how to dispose of hazardous waste.

FAQs

Why is Vincent no longer offering a set-date collection?

Verge Valet replaces traditional fixed date green waste and bulk waste collections. The year-round service offers more flexibility to residents.

Green waste and bulk waste can be collected at a time that suits each household rather than being limited to one date each year.

After trialing Verge Valet as the City’s bulk waste collection service, we asked our community for feedback in 2024. Of the respondents who had used Verge Valet, most rated their overall experience as excellent or very good. The majority of respondents wanted to see the service continue.

Why does Vincent not offer bulk bins?

We have found that bulk or skip bins can be difficult to use for people who can’t lift things up and over the edge.

Bulk bins can be booked through private providers. Please contact us first if you would like to have it placed on the verge so we can make sure the location will be safe.

How many collections can I book?

Each financial year each household can choose:

  • one green waste and one bulk waste collection, or
  • two bulk waste collections

Additional collections can be booked for a fee. If you have used your Verge Valet allocations for 2024/25 and would like to book a green waste collection, please contact us.   

How do I cancel or change my booking?

See the Verge Valet FAQs for information on how to cancel or change your booking. Bookings can be cancelled or changed before 3.30pm on the business day before your collection.
