Verge Collection

Verge collection delay

If you live in zones 10 and 11, your bulk verge collection will be delayed by over a week. We are having maintenance issues, COVID related vehicle part delays and contractors who can only assist at certain times. For those in zone 11, please still place your waste out on the 4 October.

We will provide more information on our website early next week. Our sincerest apologies, we are pursuing every avenue possible.
