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.
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.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Elizabeth East's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

Quick tips for bin night
- The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
- 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.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
