It takes a plastic bottle centuries to break down in landfill.
The same bottle, recycled, can become new packaging, clothing fibre or carpet within months. Rigid plastic bottles are one of the easiest wins in the yellow bin.
Frequently asked questions
Can I recycle pizza boxes?
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every WA council, City of Melville included.
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. City of Melville asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Ardross can run early. Putting bins out on the evening before the Wednesday run avoids the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Ardross's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections waiting for the next Wednesday.

Quick tips for bin night
- Summer bins need managing. A Ardross red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and City of Melville's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night, and in most of Ardross that night is Wednesday. These are two different things and both matter.
