Recycling rule worth knowing
Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.
Bags, wrappers and films tangle in machinery and cannot be processed in kerbside recycling. Dedicated drop-off programs handle them separately when they are running.
Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a larger or extra bin?
City of Marion offers larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as big families or medical needs, usually for a fee. Contact the council's waste team; if you are new to Seacombe Heights, check what size is standard first, since upgrade policies differ between councils.
Should I rinse containers before recycling?
A quick rinse is enough; empty and free of chunks beats spotless. It keeps Seacombe Heights's fortnightly recycling load clean without wasting water, and it keeps your bin from getting ripe between collections waiting for the next Friday.
Why was my bin in Seacombe Heights 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 Marion has a missed collection form on its website; report it and leave the bin out.

Quick tips for bin night
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night, and in most of Seacombe Heights that night is Friday. These are two different things and both matter.
- Face the opening to the street. The lifter arm on City of Marion'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.
- Know your fortnight. Seacombe Heights alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on Friday morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
