Recycling rule worth knowing
Never bag your recycling. Put items directly in the bin..
Plastic bags prevent automated sorting lines from processing the contents. The bag and everything inside it typically ends up in landfill regardless of what's inside.
Example: Tins, bottles, cardboard: loose in the yellow bin, not in a bag.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Plympton Park?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. City of Marion 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.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Plympton Park's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections waiting for the next Tuesday.
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 Plympton Park 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
- The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, and then it waits until the following Tuesday, or spills down the street. If it will not shut, it will not go.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push City of Marion collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Flatten before you fill. A single unflattened box can eat half the recycling bin, and in Plympton Park the next yellow collection is a fortnight away. Break it down first and a fortnight of cardboard fits without a fight.
