Which council collects Mount Lawley?

Mount Lawley is collected by City of Stirling, WA. That is the council that decides your collection day, supplies your bins and publishes the schedule — so it is the council name to look for on any official bin information.

One thing worth knowing before you rely on that: council boundaries do not follow suburb names tidily. Some suburbs are split down the middle by a boundary, and a street on the edge of Mount Lawley can be collected by a neighbouring council entirely. The checker above works from your address rather than the suburb name, so it is the thing to trust if you are anywhere near an edge, or if what you read here does not match what your neighbours put out.

If you have just moved to Mount Lawley, or you are checking on behalf of a rental, our full City of Stirling bin day guide has the detail , and City of Stirling’s own website is the source of record .

Why your street may differ from the rest of Mount Lawley

Knowing the council is only half of it. City of Stirling divides its area into collection zones so the trucks can work through it across the week, and those zone lines do not follow suburb boundaries. A single suburb the size of Mount Lawley is often split across two or more collection days, which is why a neighbour a few streets away can be a reliable-sounding but wrong source.

The other half is which week you are in. General waste here is fortnightly , while recycling is fortnightly , and food and garden organics is weekly. Anything on a fortnightly cycle means counting weeks, and public holidays shift the count. The checker above returns the actual next date for each bin, so there is nothing to count.
