City of Kwinana hard rubbish and bin collection

Your kerbside bins#

• Red lid, general waste

  Three-bin system: a 140L red-lid general waste bin collected weekly, a yellow-lid recycling bin (upgradable to 360L at no cost), and a 240L lime-green-lid Garden Organics (GO) bin, with the GO and recycling bins collected on alternating weeks. Properties over 350sqm receive a GO bin automatically; smaller properties can opt in free.

• 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

  A lime-green-lid Garden Organics bin takes garden waste such as grass clippings, weeds, leaves and small branches; two green waste verge collections are also offered each year.

The lid colours follow Australian Standard AS 4123 nationally, but the accepted-item list is set by City of Kwinana. 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 Kwinana#

City of Kwinana 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 Kwinana is below; City of Kwinana publishes the day itself.
