Introduction of garden organics (GO) bins
GO bins with lime-green lids have been delivered to Town of Claremont properties 400 sqm or larger to divert our green waste from landfill and make more mulch to protect gardens and reduce water use.
Along with GO bin deliveries, red lids were fitted (to replace dark green lids) on general waste bins that are placed kerbside for collection as usual.
The changes are part of the three-bin system being introduced across Perth to contribute to the State Government’s target of diverting 70 per cent of waste from landfill by 2025.
For a guide as to what goes in each bin, visit the Recycle Right website, as well as the quick A-Z guide on the WMRC website..
Three-bin collection schedule

Every week, the existing 120-litre general waste bin (with a new red lid) will be collected from Town of Claremont residences.
On alternate weeks, either the new 240-litre garden organics bin (lime lid) or the existing 240-litre recycling bin (yellow lid) will also be collected with the general waste bin.
The following calendar further details waste collection dates:

Application for GO bin for properties smaller than 400sqm
Properties greater than 400sqm in the Town of Claremont were automatically included in the new three-bin system. The owner or authorised property manager for single residential properties smaller than 400sqm can opt in to have a GO bin as part of their waste services.
