Quick tips for bin night
- Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Cooloongup the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on City of Rockingham's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
