Frequently asked questions
What is FOGO and does it apply here?
FOGO means Food Organics and Garden Organics: food scraps composted along with garden waste in the green bin. Whether City of Marion's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.
What happens to bins on public holidays?
It depends on the holiday and the council. When City of Marion shifts collections, everything from the holiday onward that week usually moves one day later, so a Friday run can become the following day. An address search during a holiday week shows any adjusted dates the council has published.
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 Seaview Downs can run early. Putting bins out on the evening before the Friday run avoids the dawn sprint. Keep them clear of driveways, parked cars and other bins.

Quick tips for bin night
- Know your fortnight. Seaview Downs 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.
- 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.
- Summer bins need managing. A Seaview Downs red bin in January is a different beast. Bag food scraps tight, keep the bin in shade if you can, and get it out every single week even when it is barely half full.
