No more verge collection

Published on Thursday, 31 July 2025 at 4:06:23 PM

The Shire of Ravensthorpe is no longer providing an annual verge waste collection service to residents.

This service was previously offered to allow for the collection of bulky items such as furniture, white goods and other household items not suitable for the weekly waste collection. 
 
Key reasons for the decision to scrap this service include: 

• Non-compliant waste frequently being left out for collection
• Health and safety risks to staff and members of the public
• To reduce costs 

We understand this change may cause some inconvenience however, we remind all property owners that vouchers for domestic waste disposal are provided annually with rates notices.

Also, all white goods including degassed refrigerators and freezers are accepted at both Ravensthorpe and Hopetoun waste facilities at no cost.
