Recycling rule worth knowing
Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.

Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Joondalup?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. City of Joondalup runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Joondalup's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
Do I get money back for drink containers?
Yes. Containers for Change refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in WA, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

Quick tips for bin night
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Joondalup households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Joondalup bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
