Bin Collection on Public Holidays​​​ 

All public holidays are serviced on their normal collection days, except for:

• Christmas Day
• New Year's Day
• Good Friday

If your bin is scheduled to be emptied on one of the above mentioned public holidays, your bin will be collected the following day.

How to Use Your Bins

You currently have two bins:

• Recycling bin (yellow lid)
• General rubbish bin (red or dark green lid)

Any broken bins that can no longer be used are replaced free of charge and recycled. 

Ensure your bin lid closes to avoid accidental litter ending up in our natural environment. Effective waste disposal can help to protect our environment and fight climate change. Occupants who leave the lid of the receptacle open are in contravention of the City's Waste Local Law . Any litter from your bin is required to be cleaned up so that the area is maintained at all times. Failure to keep your bin closed may result in a $350 infringement.

The City offers ‘Recycle Bin Stickers’ for free to all residents. Contact customer@kwinana.wa.gov.au to get your free sticker.
