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.
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.
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.
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.
The neighbouring streets have their own schedules. Here's what's happening nearby.
