Frequently asked questions
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
City of Stirling offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Carine, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.
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 Stirling included.
What goes in the green bin?
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If City of Stirling 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
- The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and City of Stirling's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Carine bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
