Frequently asked questions
Why does my neighbour in Spearwood have a different bin day?
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in Spearwood vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
What goes in the green bin?
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If City of Cockburn runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether City of Cockburn's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

Quick tips for bin night
- Summer bins need managing. A Spearwood 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.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and City of Cockburn's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
