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. For more information visit victoriapark.wa.gov.au This document is available in alternative formats on request and at victoriapark.wa.gov.au. Please remove the magnet and
