Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..
Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.
Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If West Torrens 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.
Yes, and it is the safer habit. West Torrens asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Mile End can run early. Putting bins out on the evening before the Tuesday run avoids the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
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, West Torrens included.
