Recycling rule worth knowing
Keep lids closed on your recycling bin on collection day.

Example: If your bin is full, break down any large cardboard boxes to make room rather than stacking items on top.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When City of Swan 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.
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 Swan runs use an automated arm, and bins in South Guildford blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
Why was my bin in South Guildford not collected?
The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. City of Swan has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Quick tips for bin night
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any South Guildford bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- 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.
- Know your fortnight. South Guildford alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
