Recycling rule worth knowing

Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.

Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.

Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my neighbour in Kensington Gardens have a different bin day?

Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in Kensington Gardens vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

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, Burnside included.

Can I put the bin out the night before?

Yes, and it is the safer habit. Burnside asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Kensington Gardens can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

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.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Kensington Gardens means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • Summer bins need managing. A Kensington Gardens red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
