Frequently asked questions
Why was my bin in Modbury not collected?
The usual reasons: the lid was not fully closed, the bin was out after the truck passed, contamination was spotted in the recycling, or the truck arm could not reach past a parked car. City of Tea Tree Gully has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
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.
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
City of Tea Tree Gully 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 Modbury, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.

Quick tips for bin night
- Summer bins need managing. A Modbury 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.
- Check your bin before bin night. Bin night 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.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Modbury the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
