Rubbish is collected every week (obviously) and then green waste and recycling are collected alternate weeks. The truck just comes down the street, picks em up, dumps em out and puts em back down again, the garbos don't have to get out

Re: Rubbish collections
I'm in Hillarys, Perth and we only have one bin (a general green wheelie), I haven't seen any recycling bins at all round here. After having 3 bins in the UK I feel a bit guilty chucking it all in together

you'll have to contact your local council and ask for a recylce bin, i think it costs about $35 per year or else they will leave you a recycle bag, try putting your recycling out next to your bin in a normal bag, they usually take it and leave you a recycle bag, or else ask the guy who drives the recycling truck for one. The only reason you wont have one is because the people in the house before you never bothered.

Re: Rubbish collections
I live in a big apartment complex in Brissie and all our rubbish goes straight into those huge skips, there's no recycling ones.
I'm wondering if there's anywhere I can take all my recycleable stuff? I haven't seen anywhere at the supermarkets like in the UK
