Old streetscapes, modern bin schedule. The two coexist just fine.
Whatever year your house was built, the kerbside collection is very much a current-era thing.

Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.
Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.
It depends on the holiday and the council. When Unley shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later, so a Friday run can become the following day. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Goodwood can send a whole truck to landfill, and Unley can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. Unley runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
