Green waste verge collection The City of Stirling operates a green waste verge collection for residents every nine months for the disposal of bulk garden and organic waste. Green waste items must be placed on the verge by the start date of the scheduled collection. Items can be placed on the verge up to nine days before your scheduled collection date and may take up to two weeks to be collected. To find out the next green waste verge collection in your area, visit the City’s website or contact the Customer Contact Centre. It is illegal to place green waste on parks, reserves, vacant land or commercial properties. Penalties apply. If you witness any illegal dumping, please contact the Customer Contact Centre.
