Frequently asked questions
Why was my bin in Port Noarlunga 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 Onkaparinga has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.
What do I do with old electronics?
Never any kerbside bin. E-waste is banned or diverted from landfill across Australia, and City of Onkaparinga lists its e-waste drop off options online, usually the local transfer station plus periodic collection events. Officeworks takes computers, phones and cables in most areas.
How do I get rid of furniture or a mattress in Port Noarlunga?
Bulky items never go in kerbside bins. City of Onkaparinga 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.

Quick tips for bin night
- Set a reminder now. Missed bin night in Port Noarlunga means a two week wait for the fortnightly bins. One calendar reminder costs you nothing. The two week smell costs something.
- Know your fortnight. Port Noarlunga alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on bin morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
- 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.
