Did you know?
Contamination rates in Australian recycling bins average around 15%.
When non-recyclables end up in the yellow bin, they can divert entire loads to landfill. The most common contaminants are soft plastics, food waste, and soiled packaging.
Frequently asked questions
What goes in the yellow recycling bin?
Paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, steel and aluminium cans, and rigid plastic containers like bottles, tubs and trays. Soft plastics, food waste and contaminated packaging do not belong in it anywhere in SA.
Can broken glass go in the recycling bin?
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.
Are the bins different if I rent in Salisbury East?
No, bins attach to the property, not the resident, so renters use whatever City of Salisbury supplies to the address. If bins are missing or broken at a new rental, report it to the council or your property manager; replacement is usually free and does not need the owner.

Quick tips for bin night
- 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.
- Caps off, lids on. Small plastic caps come off the bottle and go in the red bin. Metal lids on glass jars can stay put. It is a small rule that trips up a lot of people.
- The green bin loves your garden. The green bin is not quite a mulching service, but it is as close as most Salisbury East households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
