Recycling rule worth knowing
Empty and dry liquid containers before they go in.
Leftover liquid soaks into paper and cardboard in the same bin, ruining it for recycling and making the load heavier and harder to process.
Example: Tip out the last of the milk or juice and give the bottle a quick drain before it goes in the yellow bin.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. City of Marion asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Oaklands Park can run early. Putting bins out on the evening before the Wednesday run avoids the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
Why does my neighbour in Oaklands Park 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. In Oaklands Park that mostly means Wednesday, though streets near a zone boundary can differ. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
Why was my bin in Oaklands Park 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 Marion has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Quick tips for bin night
- Summer bins need managing. A Oaklands Park 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.
- Loose, not bagged. Tip recycling in loose. A tied bag cannot be opened on the sorting line, so the whole lot gets treated as rubbish. The bag defeats the entire point.
- Rinse before you bin it. Your recycling does not clean itself. A ten second rinse now saves sorting staff hours later and keeps a Oaklands Park bin from becoming a science experiment between fortnightly collections.
