Frequently asked questions
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Paralowie?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. City of Salisbury runs a hard waste service, either booked on demand or on scheduled dates depending on the area; the booking form and accepted items list are on the council website. Charities collect saleable furniture free.
What counts as recycling contamination?
Anything in the yellow bin that does not belong: food soiled packaging, soft plastics, clothing, electrical items. It matters because a contaminated load from Paralowie can send a whole truck to landfill, and City of Salisbury can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
What happens if I miss bin night in Paralowie?
General waste catches up next week, but City of Salisbury collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, City of Salisbury may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.

Quick tips for bin night
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Paralowie households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
- Break down those boxes. Overfilling the recycling bin means the lid will not close, and City of Salisbury's trucks can skip a propped open bin. Break down the boxes and save yourself the drama.
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and City of Salisbury tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
