Opt-in to receive a GO bin

Any broken or damaged bins can be replaced free of charge. Please contact the City’s contractor on 1300 293 955 to request a repair or replacement bin. 

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 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.
