Recycling Bin –
Recycle- & Bin Collection Calendar 2018
http://recycleright.wa.gov.au/community-information/teacher-resources
The mobile garbage bin (MGB) system has proved over many years to be the most efficient and effective method of waste collection and its extension into recycling is a logical and practical extension of this technology.
The MGB based co-mingled recycling service was selected because it offered convenient and effective storage of recyclable materials in a collection format familiar to residents.
Your bin is collected every second Wednesday and must be placed 0.5m from the verge by 7am. If you have a second bin please place 1 metre apart.
All recyclables are simply placed in the recycling bin.
