The City of Mandurah has issued a new timetable for bin collections next week.
The City of Mandurah are reminding us changes to waste collection days will be in place this festive season.
During the Christmas week only, changes will be made to waste and recycling bin collections that will see no collections take place on Christmas Day and all collections pushed back a day for the rest of that week.
Bins will still need to be placed on the verge for collection by 6.00am on their designated collection day.
Mandurah's Waste Management Centre in Parklands will be closed on Christmas Day.
All services will return to normal with bins being collected on usual days from Monday, January 1.
Chief Executive Officer Mark Newman wants residents to take note of the changes and also look at ways to reduce, reuse and recycle.
“We encourage our community to reduce, reuse and recycle in an effort to cut down our landfill and address the litter issue around Mandurah - this is a strong component of the City's waste strategy," he said.
Festive waste-wise tips include buying recycled wrapping paper, reusing old paper and wrapping creatively, composting Christmas leftovers, and recycling old Christmas cards.
E-waste can contain hazardous materials, including mercury, lead, phosphorous and cadmium, but they can also contain valuable substances such as gold, silver, and platinum making them suitable for reuse and recycling.
