Which council collects Aveley?

Aveley is in City of Swan, 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.

This trips people up more than it should. Council boundaries rarely match the suburb names people actually use, and a suburb can sit on the edge of one council while the shops you drive to are in the next one. If you have just moved to Aveley, or you are checking on behalf of a rental, City of Swan is who you are dealing with. Our full City of Swan bin day guide has the detail , and City of Swan’s own website is the source of record .

Why your street may differ from the rest of Aveley

Knowing the council is only half of it. City of Swan 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 Aveley 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 (in fogo areas) / weekly (non-fogo areas) , while recycling is fortnightly , and food and garden organics (fogo) is weekly (in fogo areas). 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.
