What goes where: batteries
Correct bin: Neither bin. Drop off at Bunnings or a council facility..

Avoid: Don't put batteries in any kerbside bin, not even the general waste bin.
Frequently asked questions
How often is recycling collected in Hilton?
West Torrens collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. The typical Hilton collection day is Thursday, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.
Are the bins different if I rent in Hilton?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever West Torrens supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. West Torrens asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Hilton can run early. Putting bins out on the evening before the Thursday run avoids the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

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.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Hilton bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining on Thursday night. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
