Recycle Right

Recycle Right is a useful source of information about how to recycle a wide range of goods. Check out their website here: recycleright.wa.gov.au/ or download the app.

Batteries, Globes and Printer Cartridges

For local drop-off locations for these items please click on this link: Recycling Drop-off Locations

Many businesses now collect batteries as part of B-Cycle, a new national product stewardship scheme. As a result, the  community recycling station at the Town of Cottesloe has been removed. 

Printer Cartridges can be dropped off at any Australia post for recycling through the Cartridges4Planetark

Light bulbs and tubes can be dropped off at Ikea or the West Metro Recycling Centre.

E-Waste Recycling

Cottesloe residents can dispose of E-waste including mobile phones at the West Metro Recycling Centre at the corner of Brockway Road and Lemnos Street in Shenton Park.
