Frequently asked questions
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When City of Rockingham shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.
How often is recycling collected in Secret Harbour?
City of Rockingham 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.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Secret Harbour'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 Secret Harbour bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- Summer bins need managing. A Secret Harbour red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
