KERBSIDE
RECYCLING
Council would like
to encourage you to utilise the kerbside recycling service (where
available) rather than dump this valuable resource at the Rubbish
Tip.
Materials that can
be recycled are:
Please rinse all containers after you've
washed your dishes (this also saves water). There is no need to remove
the labels.
If you are not currently
utilising the recycling service and you would like to commence please
ring the Shire on (08) 97272030 or email on info@capel.wa.gov.au.
Emptying of your reycling
bin is on the same day as the rubbish collection service, every fortnight.
