Recycling rule worth knowing

Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.

Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.

Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.

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 Kalgoorlie-Boulder runs use an automated arm, and bins in Boulder blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Why was my bin in Boulder not collected?

The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

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 Kalgoorlie-Boulder'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

  • Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Boulder bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
  • Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
