Recycling rule worth knowing
Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..
Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.
Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
City of Cockburn offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Jandakot, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.
What happens if I miss bin night in Jandakot?
General waste catches up next week, but City of Cockburn collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, City of Cockburn may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and City of Cockburn tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
- Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Jandakot the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
