What goes where: takeaway coffee cups
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.
Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.

Quick tips for bin night
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and City of Gosnells's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push City of Gosnells collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
