Frequently asked questions

Why was my bin in Calista 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 Kwinana has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Calista's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections waiting for the next Friday.

How often is recycling collected in Calista?

City of Kwinana collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. The typical Calista collection day is Friday, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night, and in most of Calista that night is Friday. These are two different things and both matter.
  • 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.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Calista households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
