Frequently asked questions
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.
What happens if I miss bin night in Hindmarsh?
General waste catches up next week, but City of Charles Sturt collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, City of Charles Sturt may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
Are the bins different if I rent in Hindmarsh?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever City of Charles Sturt 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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
- 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.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Hindmarsh households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
