Frequently asked questions

Are the bins different if I rent in Marleston?

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.

What goes in the yellow recycling bin?

Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in SA.

What is FOGO and does it apply here?

FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether West Torrens's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and West Torrens tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
  • Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Marleston means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One recurring Sunday evening reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
  • Summer bins need managing. A Marleston 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.
