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 Clovelly Park can run early. Putting bins out on the evening before the Thursday run avoids the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
Can I recycle pizza boxes?
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every SA council, City of Marion included.
Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks City of Marion runs use an automated arm, and bins in Clovelly Park blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Quick tips for bin night
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on City of Marion's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
- The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, and then it waits until the following Thursday, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Clovelly Park means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One recurring Thursday evening reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
