Recycling rule worth knowing
Keep lids closed on your recycling bin on collection day.
An overflowing recycling bin with the lid open can have its contents spilled by wind or rejected by the collection truck's automated arm.
Example: If your bin is full, break down any large cardboard boxes to make room rather than stacking items on top.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my neighbour in Trott Park have a different bin day?
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. In Trott Park that mostly means Tuesday, though streets near a zone boundary can differ. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
Why was my bin in Trott Park 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.
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, City of Marion included.

Quick tips for bin night
- Batteries are not bin material. A battery in any Trott Park bin is a fire waiting to happen in the truck. Drop them at a supermarket collection tub instead. The truck driver thanks you.
- Check your bin before bin night. Tuesday evening is not the time to discover the bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves a very long fortnight.
- Summer bins need managing. A Trott Park 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.
