Waste Management
Bulk Rubbish 2019
The dates for the Shire's Bulk Rubbish Collection in 2019 are:
9 December 2019
Three Bin Rollout.
Shire of Peppermint Grove will be implementing a three-bin system for waste collection in 2020.
- General waste-one 240 litre red lidded bin will be emptied weekly.
- Recycling- one 240 litre yellow lidded bin, emptied fortnightly.
- Garden organics- one 240 litre lime green lidded bin, emptied fortnightly.
The three-bin system will reduce waste to landfill by introducing a separate garden organics collection.
Garden prunings and clippings are collected in your garden organics bin and will be taken to the West Metro Recycling Centre where they are stockpiled and collected to be processed into mulch and compost. This mulch is free of charge to Peppermint Grove residents.
Waste advice just a phone call away - call the WMRC Recycling Hotline 9384 6711.
