What goes where: polystyrene foam
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
Standard kerbside recycling doesn't accept polystyrene, the white foam used in appliance packaging. Break it up to fit in the red bin. Some specialist facilities accept it separately.
Avoid: Don't put polystyrene in the yellow recycling bin. It clogs machinery and can't be sorted.
Frequently asked questions
Why was my bin in Cannington 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 Canning has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
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 Canning runs use an automated arm, and bins in Cannington blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
Can I recycle pizza boxes?
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every WA council, City of Canning included.

Quick tips for bin night
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push City of Canning collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Cannington the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- 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.
