Compost made from kerbside organics is used on farms, parks and roadsides.
When your green bin material is processed, it becomes a soil conditioner that returns nutrients to the ground and reduces the need for synthetic fertiliser.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I miss bin night in Marion?
General waste catches up next week, but City of Marion 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 Marion may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Marion?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. City of Marion 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.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
City of Marion offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Marion, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Quick tips for bin night
- Know your fortnight. Marion alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on Thursday morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
- Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Marion the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
