Recycling rule worth knowing
Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.
Bags, wrappers and films tangle in machinery and cannot be processed in kerbside recycling. Dedicated drop-off programs handle them separately when they are running.
Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. City of Tea Tree Gully asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Fairview Park can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
City of Tea Tree Gully offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Fairview Park, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether City of Tea Tree Gully's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

Quick tips for bin night
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Fairview Park bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and City of Tea Tree Gully's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- 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.
