Recycling rule worth knowing
Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.
Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.
Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I miss bin night in Yanchep?
General waste catches up next week, but City of Wanneroo 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 Wanneroo may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. City of Wanneroo asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Yanchep can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Yanchep the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
- 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.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and City of Wanneroo tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
