Frequently asked questions
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, City of Onkaparinga included.
What goes in the green bin?
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If City of Onkaparinga 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.
Why does my neighbour in Noarlunga Centre have a different bin day?
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in Noarlunga Centre vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.

Quick tips for bin night
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on City of Onkaparinga's trucks grabs from the road side. Lid opening toward the street, half a metre of clear space each side, and the bin gets emptied instead of skipped.
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Noarlunga Centre bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- 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.
