Western Metropolitan Regional Council
The West Metropolitan Region Council runs the West Metro Recycling Centre in Shenton Park, and also provides residents with informative workshops, tours and webinars designed to help you and your family live a low-waste life.
Containers for Change
When you recycle with Containers for Change, you get a 10 cent refund for every eligible drink container you return.
Reel It In
The Reel it in campaign was launched in 2013 to help reduce the impact of discarded fishing line and tackle on dolphins, water birds and other animals in the Swan Canning Riverpark. Made of 100 percent recycled plastic, the bins provide a safe and easy way to dispose of unwanted fishing line and tackle.
Here is a map of the current Reel It In bin locations within the Town.
Recycle Right
The Western Australian Government has created the Recycle Right website, to encourage and assist residents to sort their waste correctly. Visit the Recycle Right website to find your nearest specialist recycling points, or find which bin to use for your tricky to recycle items.
If it’s too good for Verge Valet™ or landfill, you can try to gift it, sell it, donate it, fix it or swap it first. Use the link above to explore local op shops, charities, repair cafes and repair labs.
