Frequently asked questions
How often is recycling collected in Embleton?
City of Swan collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.
What counts as recycling contamination?
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Embleton can send a whole truck to landfill, and City of Swan can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
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 Swan runs use an automated arm, and bins in Embleton blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Quick tips for bin night
- Know your fortnight. Embleton alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- Summer bins need managing. A Embleton red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
