bin guide

Shire of Shark Bay uses separate kerbside collections for rubbish. Choose an exact address for its dates and service eligibility. The Shire provides a resident recycling bring centre rather than a kerbside recycling service. Collections Day returns the published domestic round for selected Denham addresses.

Common questions

Quick answers

How do I find Shire of Shark Bay 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.
Does this council collect food scraps at the kerb?
Not as a standard service shown in this guide. Check the official council source for future changes or property-specific options.
