Lithium batteries cause hundreds of fires in waste trucks and facilities every year.

Frequently asked questions
Can I recycle pizza boxes?
A clean, dry pizza box is fine in the yellow bin. If the base is soaked with grease, tear off and recycle the clean lid and put the greasy half in general waste. This rule is the same across every SA council, West Torrens included.
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 West Torrens's green bin accepts food depends on its current rollout; the lid sticker is the quickest check, and the council website confirms it.

Quick tips for bin night
- Wishful recycling is not recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best is contamination, and West Torrens tags bins for it. When in doubt, it is general waste.
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push West Torrens collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Know your fortnight. Torrensville alternates its fortnightly bins, and guessing wrong is the classic move. The neighbours' kerb on Wednesday morning is the traditional answer; an address search is the reliable one.
