What goes where: nappies and wipes
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
Disposable nappies and baby wipes are general waste, even the ones labelled biodegradable, which do not break down in a standard kerbside system.
Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.
Frequently asked questions
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Hocking's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. City of Wanneroo asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Hocking can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
What goes in the yellow recycling bin?
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in WA.

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.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and City of Wanneroo tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push City of Wanneroo collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
