What goes where: polystyrene foam

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).

Standard kerbside recycling doesn't accept polystyrene, the white foam used in appliance packaging. Break it up to fit in the red bin. Some specialist facilities accept it separately.

Avoid: Don't put polystyrene in the yellow recycling bin. It clogs machinery and can't be sorted.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and City of Kwinana's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night, and in most of Orelia that night is Thursday. These are two different things and both matter.
  • Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
