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
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When City of Playford shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Blakeview?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. City of Playford runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
Do I get money back for drink containers?
Yes. South Australia has run container deposits since 1977, at depots, return machines and bag drop points. Containers you redeem are extra money in your pocket; eligible containers you skip still go in the recycling bin.

Quick tips for bin night
- Know your fortnight. Blakeview alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push City of Playford collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Blakeview the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
