Bulk junk and bulk green waste use a bookable verge collection service; every residential property paying a waste fee can book one bulk junk and one bulk green collection each financial year, with extra collections available for a fee. Place items in separate piles by waste type three days before collection.
Your kerbside bins#
- Red lid, general waste
Once-a-week general waste collection and fortnightly recycling and garden organics collections.
- 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
Garden organics are collected fortnightly; bulk green waste can also be booked as a verge collection once per financial year.
The lid colours follow Australian Standard AS 4123 nationally, but the accepted-item list is set by City of Wanneroo. 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 Wanneroo#
City of Wanneroo 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.
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 Wanneroo is below; City of Wanneroo publishes the day itself.
Garden and food organics in City of Wanneroo#
Garden organics are collected fortnightly; bulk green waste can also be booked as a verge collection once per financial year.
Whether a green bin takes food scraps as well as garden material depends on the service your council runs. See the FOGO bin explained, and the item pages for food scraps and garden waste.
