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
What happens if I miss bin night in Waikiki?
General waste catches up next week, but City of Rockingham collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, City of Rockingham may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
What goes in the yellow recycling bin?
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in WA.
Why does my neighbour in Waikiki 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 Waikiki vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

Quick tips for bin night
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and City of Rockingham's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Waikiki bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
- Empty it before you bin it. A half full bottle leaks through the paper and cardboard sharing its bin. Drain liquids first and the whole load stays cleaner.
