Frequently asked questions
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When City of Marion shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later, so a Tuesday run can become the following day. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether City of Marion's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
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 Park Holme 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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Park Holme bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- 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.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Park Holme the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
