The Town is pleased to advise that our waste collection services are back on track. We are continuing to work with our waste collection contractor to ensure this service continues, and we thank our community for their patience and understanding while these matters were resolved.

A few reminders;

• Please put your bins out by 6am on your day of collection, with at least ½ a metre between bins and one metre away from overhanging trees or parked cars, to ensure the trucks can lift and empty the bins easily.
• For ongoing collection dates and red/yellow week allocations, the Town of Cottesloe Waste & Recycling Guide 25/26 calendar is available here.
• Collections coming up this week – it’s the green lidded FOGO bin (weekly collection) and the yellow lidded recycling bin (fortnightly collection).
• A few tips for your recycling bin - remove lids and rinse plastic and glass containers, flatten cardboard, and never place items in a plastic bag.
