Frequently asked questions
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.
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 Port Adelaide Enfield runs use an automated arm, and bins in Enfield blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.
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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on City of Port Adelaide Enfield'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.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and City of Port Adelaide Enfield tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push City of Port Adelaide Enfield collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
