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 goes in the yellow recycling bin?
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in SA.
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. City of Charles Sturt asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Findon can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and City of Charles Sturt lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.

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 Findon bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Findon means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and City of Charles Sturt tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
