Did you know?

Bagged recycling is one of the most common reasons a load is rejected.

Sorting machines and staff cannot open every bag, so anything tied up inside is treated as contamination. Tipping recyclables in loose solves the problem entirely.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a larger or extra bin?

City of Kwinana offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Wellard, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

What goes in the green bin?

Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If City of Kwinana 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 counts as recycling contamination?

Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Wellard can send a whole truck to landfill, and City of Kwinana can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.

Quick tips for bin night

  • 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.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Wellard means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Wellard the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
