What’s the GO?

General waste bin

The Town will introduce an improved three-bin system for residents, with a Garden Organics (GO) bin to turn garden waste into high quality compost.

The dark green lid on your general waste wheelie bin will be replaced with a red lid.

Recycling bin Services will stay the same.

You’ll receive a new Waste and Recycling Guide mid–2022 to reflect these changes.

If you have any questions about the three-bin system, email admin@vicpark.wa.gov.au or call (08) 9311 8111.
