City of Armadale hard rubbish and bin collection

Your kerbside bins#

• Red lid, general waste

  Two-bin system: a general rubbish bin (dark-green or red lid) and a yellow-lid recycling bin collected on the same day, with recycling collected fortnightly. Bins out by 6am and put away by the end of the collection day; maximum 70kg per bin.

• Yellow lid, recycling

  Rinsed bottles, jars, cans, paper and cardboard, placed loose. Check the council page for glass and soft plastics rules in your area.

• Green lid, organics

  There is no weekly green bin; the City provides two green waste verge collections per calendar year, accepting up to 4.5 cubic metres of tree branches and shrub prunings placed loose without string, rope or wire.

The lid colours follow Australian Standard AS 4123 nationally, but the accepted-item list is set by City of Armadale. See what bin does it go in for the item-by-item answers, and the purple glass bin rollout for where a fourth lid is arriving.

Getting a collection in City of Armadale#

City of Armadale takes the booking, sets the date and decides what it will lift, so have your address and an item list ready before you start. Most councils cap the volume per booking, and the rule above is the one that applies here.

Council waste page

How booked and scheduled collections differ across the country is covered in hard rubbish collection in Australia.

When your bin goes out#

Collection day is set by your street address, not by the council area, so this guide does not carry per-street dates and will not guess one. The service pattern for City of Armadale is below; City of Armadale publishes the day itself.
