Recycling rule worth knowing
Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..
Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.
Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. City of Onkaparinga asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Aberfoyle Park can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
Are the bins different if I rent in Aberfoyle Park?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever City of Onkaparinga supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.
What goes in the yellow recycling bin?
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in SA.

Quick tips for bin night
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
- Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Aberfoyle Park households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
