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
Why does my neighbour in Booragoon 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. Collection days in Booragoon vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
What counts as recycling contamination?
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Booragoon can send a whole truck to landfill, and City of Melville can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.

Quick tips for bin night
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and City of Melville tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Booragoon bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
