Bulk Waste
Verge Valet™ accepts most items for collection. Generally, things that the Verge Valet Collection Team cannot collect are listed in the right column below. These items will be left behind if put out for collection, and a non-conformance notice will be issued – this is for the safety of our team.
Each collection must be no more than 3m3 (3m x 1m x 1m). Ideally, items should be less than 1.5m in length to be easily picked up and put into the collection truck. We understand this may not be possible for bulky furniture items.
Accepted items: Items NOT ACCEPTED: Air conditioners NO asbestos products BBQ’s (not gas bottles) NO batteries Bicycles NO bean bags Bulk polystyrene NO building materials (brick, rubble, concrete etc.) Bulky toys NO car oil & fuel E-waste (TVs, computers, accessories) NO food Fencing (timber & steel only) NO medical waste or personal hygiene products Floor coverings (linoleum, carpet) NO glass panels (tables, mirrors & window panes) Fridges/freezers (doors removed or taped shut) NO hazardous materials (flammable, toxic or corrosive liquids) Garden hoses NO paint General junk NO dirt, garden waste, soil, sand & mulch Household furniture (no glass) NO tyres Mattresses (1 per collection booked) NO vehicles, car bodies, car parts Mattress bases How much can I put out per collection? 
Scrap metal Plant pots Small electrical goods Timber (not garden waste; max 1.5m length) White goods (doors removed) Wire/strapping Please note: Many bulk waste items that are not accepted in a Verge Valet™ collection may be taken to the West Metro Recycling Centre.

OR
You can use Verge Valet Extra!
Verge Valet Extra is a pre-paid collection service available to properties that have used all the available allocations and to community groups . This is essentially a private collection service agreement between you and the Verge Valet Collection Team that uses the same size limit, accepted items list and set out instructions as Verge Valet™. To book a Verge Valet Extra collection, follow the regular booking process and select the ‘Verge Valet Extra’ checkbox. You will receive an invoice by email.
For your collection to go ahead, payment must be completed before 3.30pm on the business day before your collection.
Prices for these are as follows (inc GST):
Bulk waste: $200.00
Mattress: $85.00
