As the weather warms up, we see more people enjoying outdoor spaces across our city - particularly at our beaches, foreshore areas and parks.

Our staff work hard to try and keep these areas well maintained and clear of rubbish. You can help by using bins in public spaces, and taking your litter with you if bins are full.

We also have the following features in place:

Recycling cages

We've installed 100 wire recycling cages, which are attached to bins in public areas. These are used to collect any 10c refund bottles that are eligible for the Return and Earn program.

Using these bins will help cans and bottles be recycled and stay out of landfill.

Recycling bins

Recycling bins are in place at 17 of our local parks from Bald Hill to Wongawilli.

Hot coal bins

Some of our larger parks and reserves have hot coal bins. Please use these where they're available.

Never dump hot coals on the ground or in bushland, as this can be a hazard to other people, and could start fires.
