What we can collect
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 some furniture items.

If you are worried about small, loose items blowing around, please place them under your branches or twigs. You may also place loose items in a Council Approved greenwaste bag (if your Council provides these), an open cardboard box (which may be returned to your property after collection), or under a weighted tarpaulin.
