Recycling rule worth knowing
Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.
Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.
Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my neighbour in Aldinga Beach have a different bin day?
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in Aldinga Beach vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.
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 Aldinga Beach can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Quick tips for bin night
- Summer bins need managing. A Aldinga Beach red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and City of Onkaparinga's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Aldinga Beach bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
