Bulk and Green Waste Verge Collections - Verge Valet™
In 2025, the Town of Victoria Park is moving to Verge Valet - a pre-booked verge collection service delivered in partnership with the Western Metropolitan Regional Council (WMRC).
Instead of waiting for a scheduled collection, you can now choose a time that works for you.
Each property can book two (2) bulk waste collections and one (1) green waste collection per financial year.
If preferred, you can swap a bulk waste collection for an additional green waste collection (i.e. you could book 1 bulk waste and two green, or even three green waste collections if you don’t need a bulk waste collection).
You can place up to 3 cubic metres of waste on the verge (no skip bins are used) for each collection. Unused collections don't roll over to the next financial year.
Bookings are now open for green waste collections. Bulk waste collection bookings will open in September.
Before you book
- Check which items are eligible for collection.
- Rehome anything that could still be useful to someone (consider op shops, Marketplace and local Buy-Nothing groups).
Making a booking
- Check the available collection dates for your area on the Verge Valet website.
- Follow the prompts to book. You don’t have to create an account, but doing so will make it easier to manage bookings in future.
- Wait until 1-3 days before collection before placing your items on the verge. You will receive a confirmation email or text when making your booking, and a place-out reminder 3 days before your collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why pre-booked?
Pre-booked services are more flexible, reduce wastage, and provide fewer opportunities for illegal dumping. Minimising the amount of waste on verges at any one time also reduces health and safety impacts.
Why don't you use skip bins instead of having us place items on the verge?
We’ve found that it’s not easy for people to lift bulky items into or out of skip bins, especially if they are older or have mobility issues. Placing things on the verge makes it easier for everyone to use the Verge Valet service.
I live in an apartment. Can I book a collection?
Yes, Verge Valet can be used by residents in apartments and units. If there are 25 or more units in your complex, please contact the strata manager or caretaker to book collections.
I rent this property. Can I book a collection?
Yes, Verge Valet is available to all residential properties. Collections are based on address, not resident.
I don't have a verge. Can I book a collection?
Yes – we’ll work with you to determine a suitable arrangement. Please call 9384 6711 to discuss.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Please book at least one week in advance. We list all available collection dates on the website.
Can I change my date after booking?
You can change, cancel, or postpone your booking up to one business day before your collection date.
Go to vergevalet.com.au or phone the collection team on 9384 6711.
Changes must be made before 3.30pm on the previous business day, or you will lose your allocation.
I have used all my collections this financial year. Can I get more?
If you have used your three allocated collections, you can purchase additional collections through Verge Valet Extra.
