What goes where: takeaway coffee cups
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.
Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. City of Marion asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Ascot Park can run early. Putting bins out on Sunday evening before the Monday run avoids the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
Why was my bin in Ascot Park not collected?
The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. City of Marion has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
What goes in the green bin?
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If City of Marion runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.

Quick tips for bin night
- Check your bin before bin night. Monday evening 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 lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, and then it waits until the following Monday, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and City of Marion's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
