Recycling rule worth knowing
Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.

Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I miss bin night in Mount Pleasant?
General waste catches up next week, but City of Melville 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 Melville may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
Can I recycle pizza boxes?
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every WA council, City of Melville included.
How often is recycling collected in Mount Pleasant?
City of Melville collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.

Quick tips for bin night
- 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.
- 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.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Mount Pleasant the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
