To prepare for the Cyclone season each year, the Shire of East Pilbara conducts an annual Bulk Verge Collection in October or November.

All residential properties within Marble Bar, Nullagine and Newman are encouraged to participate and to utilise this service to remove unwanted loose items from your property.

All household bulk rubbish and green waste is to be neatly stacked on the front verge in separate piles (i.e. all metals, all wood etc.) for collection prior to commencement of pickups.

Nullagine and Marble Bar: 2024 dates coming soon

Late items and car bodies will not be collected.
