Annual Green Waste Collection
The Shire of Exmouth provides one free annual green waste collection, leading up to Cyclone Season.
2025 Key Dates
Sunday 19 October 2025: Green waste must be on verge,
Monday 20 October 2025: Green waste collection begins.
Standards for collection
- Council will collect green waste only
- Green waste must be separated into different groups (i.e. bagged leaves, palm cuttings/fronds, branches, trunks). Palm fronds will not be mulched so please ensure they are kept separate for collection
- Council will not enter private property to collect waste. All items must be on the verge.
- Tree pruning waste is to be no longer than 5 m and is to be separated from all other clean green waste
- Loose material such as leaves and other vegetation should be suitably wrapped, tied or placed in bags/boxes to prevent litter spread and to aid collection.
- Keep all green waste clear of fences, water meters, power poles, vehicles, trailers, Telstra pits, driveways, footpaths and gardens to ensure it is accessible for bobcats/loaders
- Loose leaf litter will not be collected.
The Shire will not collect any green waste that does not meet the above standards, or any additional items left on your verge.
You will be required to remove those items yourself.
Please contact the Shire Works Depot on 9949 3080 if you have any questions.
