What can't I put in my Green Household Bin? What I can put in my Recycling in?
The bins remain the property of The Shire of East Pilbara and residents are held liable for any loss or damage of bins.
If your bin has been stolen or damaged, you can request a replacement bin or the repair of your bin by completing a request form. Please note that only property owners and property managers are able to request replacement bins as fees are applicable.
To request to add a bin service to your property, or remove the bin service off your rates, please phone our Administration Reception on 08 9175 8000.
