The City of Mandurah provides a weekly domestic waste collection service to the residents.

The green 240 Litre wheelie bin is for your general domestic waste only, i.e. food waste and packaging, non-recyclables, nappies, plastic bags/garbage bags, broken household items that cannot be reused or fixed, textiles etc. and garden waste.

Note - wheelie bins belong to the Waste Contractor, however the customer is responsible for the general cleanliness of the bin. Any damaged or stolen bins should be reported to mandurahwastealliance@cleanaway.com.au or you can call them on 9550 4700 to arrange repair or replacement of the bin.

To get the best from your refuse service follow these tips:

• Store your bin in a shaded area.
• Clean your bin regularly using hot, soapy water.
• Wrap all moist and perishable foods in plastic bags or newspapers.
• Freeze all smelly food until the night before collection.
• Put lawn clippings on top to prevent jamming.
• AVOID placing heavy items in the bin such as large rocks and concrete. If the bin is too heavy it cannot be emptied.
• All items placed in the wheelie bin must fit loosely so that they will fall out when emptied. AVOID jamming items into your bin.
• The bin should not be overfull. The lid on the bin should close fully. DO NOT place excess rubbish in the bin so as to prevent the lid closure.
• Ensure that the bin is placed in a position visible to the collection truck driver and that access to the bin is not obstructed.
• To prevent theft and vandalisation, both bins need to be out by 6.00am on the collection day and returned to your property as soon as possible.

Please do not put the following into your wheelie bin:
Ash, concrete, bricks, solvents, chemicals, paint, oil or other liquids.
