Waste Management

Refuse Collection Service

A weekly domestic refuse collection service operates in Busselton, Dunsborough, Yallingup, Eagle Bay and Vasse.  To enable this service to operate efficiently, residents are required to provide either a 120 or 240 litre dark-green mobile garbage bin.  Bins can be purchased from either the Busselton Mitre 10 Store, 81-93 West Street, Busselton or Dunsborough Hardware Mitre 10, Enterprise Park, 94 Faure Lane, Dunsborough.

Where a weekly residential collection is provided, residents are asked to:

• Face the bin to the kerb as indicated by the arrow fixed to the lid of the bin and place your bin in a clear area, one (1) metre from the kerb.
• Place your bin in a convenient location to assist with its efficient collection.
• Do not overload your bin or place items in the bins so that the lid will not close (70kg MAX).
• Place all rubbish inside the bin (rubbish not placed in the bin cannot be collected).
• Wrap all food waste.
• Keep the bin clean.
• Remove the bin from the kerb as soon as convenient after it has been emptied.
• Place the bin on the verge for collection prior to 6AM on the day of the collection (as some collections are made early in the morning).
• Please ensure your bin is a least 500mm clear of other bins, recycling bins or other obstructions.
• Please do not place hot ashes or material in the bin that may cause dust nuisance or fire hazard.
• NEVER put containers of oil in your wheelie bin.  They explode in the truck causing a mess on the truck, road, verge & your bin.  Waste motor oil (up to 20 litres) is accepted free of charge at both the Busselton Transfer Station & Dunsborough Waste Facility every day of the week.
