Did you know?
Garden organics diverted from landfill become compost and mulch.
A full, clean green-lid bin is genuinely valuable. The material is processed into soil amendment used on farms, council parks, and revegetation projects.
Frequently asked questions
What goes in the green bin?
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If City of Marion runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and City of Marion 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.
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. City of Marion asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Marino can run early. Putting bins out on the evening before the Wednesday run avoids the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Quick tips for bin night
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Marino households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Check your bin before bin night. Wednesday evening is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night, and in most of Marino that night is Wednesday. These are two different things and both matter.
