Keep lids closed on your recycling bin on collection day.
An overflowing recycling bin with the lid open can have its contents spilled by wind or rejected by the collection truck's automated arm.
Example: If your bin is full, break down any large cardboard boxes to make room rather than stacking items on top.
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks City of Kwinana runs use an automated arm, and bins in Bertram blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. In Bertram that mostly means Wednesday, though streets near a zone boundary can differ. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in WA.
