Recycling rule worth knowing

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.

Frequently asked questions

What goes in the green bin?

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.

Can I put the bin out the night before?

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.

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, West Torrens included.

Quick tips for bin night

  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, and then it waits until the following Tuesday, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
  • Check your bin before bin night. Tuesday 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.
  • Know your fortnight. Mile End alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on Tuesday morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
