What goes where: nappies and wipes
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
Disposable nappies and baby wipes are general waste, even the ones labelled biodegradable, which do not break down in a standard kerbside system.
Avoid: Don't flush wipes, even flushable ones. They contribute to blockages in the sewer network.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my neighbour in Thornlie 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 Thornlie vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Thornlie?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. City of Gosnells runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
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 Gosnells runs use an automated arm, and bins in Thornlie blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Quick tips for bin night
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
- 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.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Thornlie means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
