Frequently asked questions
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.
How often is recycling collected in Glengowrie?
City of Marion collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. The typical Glengowrie collection day is Tuesday, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.
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
- Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and City of Marion tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining on Tuesday night. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
