Recycling rule worth knowing
Remove caps and lids from plastic bottles before recycling.
Caps are often a different type of plastic that causes contamination if mixed with the bottle material. Metal screw-top lids on glass jars are the exception and those can stay on.
Example: Milk bottles, shampoo bottles, soft drink bottles: pop the cap off first.
Frequently asked questions
Can I put the bin out the night before?
Yes, and it is the safer habit. City of Onkaparinga asks for bins at the kerb by early morning on collection day, and trucks in Reynella can run early. The evening before beats the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.
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 Reynella can send a whole truck to landfill, and City of Onkaparinga can tag or refuse repeat offending bins.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Reynella's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections.

Quick tips for bin night
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
- 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.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Reynella households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
