What goes where: nappies and wipes

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

Disposable nappies and baby wipes are general waste, even the ones labelled biodegradable, which do not break down in a standard kerbside system.

Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.

Frequently asked questions

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 Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

What happens to bins on public holidays?

It depends on the holiday and the council. When Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Byford means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
