Garbage and recycling collection in Perth East is done biweekly by our provider, Bluewater Recycling Association. Each ward of Perth East has a different day for collection.
The automated collection system uses a specialized vehicle to collect the curbside waste (black bins) and recycling (blue bins) which are collected at the same time with the same vehicle in a two-compartment truck.
We recommend that you set out both containers by 7am to ensure collection. This service is contracted through Blue Water Recycling Association.

The following are tip sheets to help reduce blown over wheelie bins:
New Resident to Perth East |
| Garbage & Recycling (Waste Management) services are contracted to the Bluewater Recycling Association, through the use of "wheelie bins".
If you have moved to a new home, the previous owners should have left the wheelie bins at your new home. If you are in a new home or do not have wheelie bins at your new property, please contact Bluewater Recycling Association to order new bins online or phone them at 1-800-265-9799. If you move, you must leave your wheelie bins at your previous address, as they are bar coded to the property. Garbage bins range in price, depending on your needs. The cost of the bins are paid for on your property tax bill, and are charged annually. Recycling bins are no charge. If you move and need a larger or smaller bin, please contact Bluewater Recycling. To see the size and cost of bins, come to our municipal office or view them here. Click to see more information on Garbage & Recycling in Perth East! When you move, you can also sign up for Bluewater Recycling's Collection Reminder Application to be reminded of when your collection days are! |
