Recycling rule worth knowing
Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.
Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.
Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.
Frequently asked questions
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 Cockburn runs use an automated arm, and bins in Hamilton Hill blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
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 Hamilton Hill can send a whole truck to landfill, and City of Cockburn can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
Are the bins different if I rent in Hamilton Hill?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever City of Cockburn supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

Quick tips for bin night
- Know your fortnight. Hamilton Hill 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.
- 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.
