Recycling rule worth knowing
Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.
Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.
Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I miss bin night in Attadale?
General waste catches up next week, but City of Melville collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, City of Melville may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Attadale?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. City of Melville runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether City of Melville's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

Quick tips for bin night
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Attadale the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Attadale bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
