City of Fremantle uses separate kerbside collections for rubbish, recycling, food and garden organics. Choose an exact address for its dates and service eligibility. Collections Day checks the City's official map for one exact improved residential property and one active domestic collection area. It does not guess results for other property types or overlapping areas.

Common questions
Quick answers
How do I find City of Fremantle collection dates?
Choose the exact property above. The private result uses the council's official collection information after that selection, rather than guessing from a suburb or postcode.
Can soft plastics go in the recycling bin?
No. Keep plastic bags, film and wrappers out of mixed recycling and use an appropriate drop-off service where one is available.
Can food scraps go in the food and garden organics bin?
Yes. Remove packaging, stickers and ties first. Follow any liner instructions shown by the council for the property.
