Frequently asked questions
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Rossmoyne's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.
Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks City of Canning runs use an automated arm, and bins in Rossmoyne blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
What goes in the yellow recycling bin?
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in WA.

Quick tips for bin night
- Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on City of Canning's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push City of Canning collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
