Recycling rule worth knowing

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.

Frequently asked questions

Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?

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.

Why does my neighbour in Bertram have a different bin day?

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.

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

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.

Quick tips for bin night

  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, and then it waits until the following Wednesday, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Bertram means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One recurring Wednesday evening reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Bertram bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
