A delayed week often means a fuller bin
When collections are pushed back over a holiday period, the gap between pickups grows. General waste and organics can build up faster than usual, especially across the festive season when households produce more of both.
Tip: Squash and flatten where you can, and avoid overfilling. A lid that will not close can mean the truck skips your bin.
Frequently asked questions
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means food scraps composted together with garden waste in a green bin. East Cannington's standard lineup does not currently include that bin, so food waste goes in general waste for now; councils across WA are progressively adding organics services.
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and City of Canning lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.
How often is recycling collected in East Cannington?
City of Canning collects recycling fortnightly. Collection days vary by street, 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. These are two different things and both matter.
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a East Cannington bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and City of Canning tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
