City of Bayswater
Bin Collection
The City of Bayswater's refuse and recycling collection system consists of:
-
Weekly refuse collection - green lid mobile garbage bin (MGB).
-
Fortnightly recyclables collection - yellow lid MGB.
-
Fortnightly greenwaste collection - brown lid MGB.
Bins are to be placed as close as practicable to half a metre from the road each week before 6.00 am and returned to a secure place within the property as soon as possible after emptying.
The refuse bin is placed out each week and the recycling bin and the greenwaste bin are placed out on alternative weeks. The bins are emptied by Council's contractor Cleanaway.
Each household has been issued with a refrigerator calendar called Waste & Recycling Guide 2009/2010 to indicate what days to put out the general rubbish, recycling and greenwaste bins. The Areas designate which week households place their rubbish bins.
Remember:
Place household rubbish in bags. Do not put hazardous materials (such as inflammable materials, chemicals, paints or oils) into any bin.
Recyclables include plastic and glass bottles and jars, paper and cardboard, steel and aluminium cans, phone books, milk and juice cartons, newspapers and magazines. See the Disposal Guide A-Z if you are unsure where to place an item.
What should not be placed in the yellow-top recycling bin:
· No plastic bags
· No household food scraps and wrappings
· No appliances
· No batteries or other metal objects
· No rubber or leather items of any kind
· No garden waste, timber or building material including asbestos
· No clothing
· No oil, acid, chemicals or paint
· No crockery, pottery, porcelain, or plate glass
Greenwaste includes grass, leaves, weeds, branches, small logs and prunings. Do not put these items into bags. Leave them separate. Plastic bags will contaminate the mulching and composting process. Also, do not put sand or soil in your greenwaste bin.
It is very important that you place the correct items in bins, otherwise it could contaminate the whole truckload. By placing the right items in your bins you will assist us in recycling and recovering more of your household rubbish.
If you have any doubt on how to dispose of an item, please phone the City of
