Section 2: Volume & Sizing Rules
2. Volume Limits: The 3 cubic metres (3m³) Rule
City of Cockburn enforcement officers monitor collection piles. Exceeding volume limits or placing prohibited items risks non-collection tags and litter compliance infringement notices.
⚠️ Key Set-Out Requirements:
Total verge pile volume cannot exceed
3 cubic metres (3m³)
(approximately two standard box trailers). Keep piles neatly stacked at least 1m away from public utilities, street signs, and council verge trees.
- Strict limit of 3 cubic metres (3m³) of green waste per property.
- Cut branches to maximum 1.5m lengths, cut ends facing the road.
- No commercial or industrial waste on residential verges — industrial units in Bibra Lake require private waste contractor clearance.
- No palm trunks, large stumps, wire, asbestos, or hazardous chemicals.
- Leave a 1.5m clearance path along concrete footpaths for pedestrians, prams, and mobility scooters.

Section 5: FAQs
5. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can businesses in Bibra Lake Industrial Park use residential verge collections?
No. Municipal verge collections in the City of Cockburn are restricted to residential zoned properties. Commercial and industrial complexes in Bibra Lake must engage private property grounds contractors like Backyard Roo for green waste and waste compliance.
Q2: What vouchers does Cockburn provide for green waste?
City of Cockburn rate notices include barcode trailer passes for the Henderson Waste Recovery Park. Backyard Roo can load, transport, and tip green waste directly on your behalf.
Q3: What can I do if I missed my Cockburn green waste collection date?
Leaving uncollected piles on your verge past your collection week violates council litter regulations. Call Backyard Roo at 0455 403 835 for rapid verge clearance and disposal.
Q4: Are tree roots and clay accepted in green waste?
No. Soil, root balls with attached clay, and rocks damage municipal tub grinders and are left behind by collection crews. Backyard Roo cleans and excavates these materials with mini-excavator equipment.
