Residential bin request types
Types of bins
The City of Stirling operates a three-bin system where households have access to three different bins:
- A red lid bin for general waste. Collected every week
- A yellow lid bin for recycling materials. Collected fortnightly on alternate weeks
- A lime green lid bin for garden organics. Collected fortnightly on alternate weeks.
By working together to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill, we can ensure a more sustainable future for our community.

Sorting your waste correctly
Residents are encouraged to sort their waste correctly into the different bins with the help of our Waste and Recycling Guide or our A - Z waste guide. Sorting your waste correctly means that you’re diverting waste from landfill, and creating a more sustainable future for our community.

Is it your bin day? Use our bin day search function above to check. We collect bins between 6.00am and 6.00pm. If it’s your bin day, we might not have reached your area yet due to varying truck rounds. If your bin was out on time and it was missed, please report it within 48 hours. Otherwise, you may need to arrange a paid return collection or wait until your next bin day. If you forgot to place your bin out on your bin day or missed the reporting window, you can still arrange a paid return collection.
For more information, please submit a general enquiry and feedback form.
All your bins must be stored on your property between collections, not on the footpath, verge or street. If you are unable to securely store your bins during demolition and construction, please contact the City to have them removed. Please note a fee may occur for the bins to be returned at the end of this period.
Our drivers will place a sticker on your bin to let you know there is an issue with your bin. This can sometimes explain why your bin has not been collected.
All bins are collected on public holidays except for Good Friday, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. On these days the bin collections will take place on the following day.
If you're unsure of how to dispose of certain waste items, please refer to our Waste and Recycling Guide or our A - Z waste guide.
