Recycling rule worth knowing
Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.
Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.
Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.
Frequently asked questions
Do I get money back for drink containers?
Yes. Containers for Change refunds 10 cents per eligible drink container in WA, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means food scraps composted together with garden waste in a green bin. Wilson's standard lineup does not currently include that bin, so food waste goes in general waste for now; councils across WA are progressively adding organics services.
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and City of Canning lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.

Quick tips for bin night
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Wilson bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- Summer bins need managing. A Wilson 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.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Wilson means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
