Rubbish is collected in the Boyup Brook town every Wednesday morning. Please ensure your “wheelie” bin is standing up facing the correct direction on the kerb side before 6am. Bins that are too heavy (70kg limit) will not be emptied. Rubbish that escapes from the bins prior and during the emptying process is the land owners responsibility.

If your bin has not been emptied but your neighbour's has, please contact Veolia on 1800 260 033.  If the truck is still in town they will arrange for the driver to go back to empty your bin.  General Waste | Reliable Collections | Veolia
