Shire of Yilgarn uses separate kerbside collections for rubbish, recycling. Choose an exact address for its dates and service eligibility. The Shire requires every property inside a serviced town boundary to have a refuse service. Collections Day returns the stable Friday rubbish round for the reviewed staff house at 2 Libra Place, Southern Cross, and withholds recycling until its monthly dates are represented without ambiguity.

Common questions
Quick answers
How do I find Shire of Yilgarn 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.
