Where does rubbish go? Find out with a FREE tour!

Your garden waste can go in your green-lid rubbish bin. Also, many Councils now organise green waste verge collections where they collect garden waste (grass clippings, prunings etc) separately for mulching and composting.

Household hazardous waste - such as paint, fertilisers, and pool chemicals - contains toxic

substances which need to be disposed of safely. Do not put these products in either of your bins.

Residents can bring household hazardous wastes to the Recycling Centres at Tamala Park or

Balcatta. Alternatively, your local Council may hold a special household hazardous waste disposal day where you can take your materials for safe disposal. These days are advertised locally.

What do I do with household hazardous waste?

Where can I take items that are too good to throw away?

If you have items which are too good to throw away or aren’t needed anymore, they can be left for no cost at our Recycling Centres at Tamala Park or Balcatta (addresses below), or donated to your local Op Shop. These items can be re-used by someone else.
