Recycling rule worth knowing
Keep lids closed on your recycling bin on collection day.
An overflowing recycling bin with the lid open can have its contents spilled by wind or rejected by the collection truck's automated arm.
Example: If your bin is full, break down any large cardboard boxes to make room rather than stacking items on top.
Frequently asked questions
Are the bins different if I rent in West Busselton?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever City of Busselton supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.
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.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps West Busselton's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

Quick tips for bin night
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a West Busselton bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
- Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any West Busselton bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
