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 Kalgoorlie-Boulder 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 Kalgoorlie, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

What happens if I miss bin night in Kalgoorlie?

General waste catches up next week, but City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder 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 Kalgoorlie-Boulder may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Kalgoorlie's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Kalgoorlie bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
  • 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.
  • 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.
