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.

  • general waste bins are placed kerbside by 6am on their usual collection day; and

  • bins are not retrieved until 6pm to enable work for the transition to be completed.

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..
