What goes where: takeaway coffee cups
Correct bin: General Waste (red lid).
The waterproof plastic lining means a standard takeaway cup cannot be recycled kerbside. The lid is sometimes recyclable if it is rigid plastic, but the cup itself is not.
Avoid: Don't assume a paper-looking cup is recyclable. A reusable cup avoids the problem entirely.
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.
How often is recycling collected in Woodcroft?
City of Onkaparinga collects recycling fortnightly, alternating with the garden organics bin. Collection days vary by street, and an address search shows which fortnight you are in right now.
Where exactly should the bin go on the kerb?
On the footpath or nature strip close to the kerb, lid opening facing the street, with about half a metre clear on each side. The trucks City of Onkaparinga runs use an automated arm, and bins in Woodcroft blocked by cars, poles or low branches are the most common reason a bin gets skipped.

Quick tips for bin night
- Holiday weeks shuffle the schedule. Long weekends can quietly push City of Onkaparinga collections back a day. Check before a public holiday so you are not chasing the truck down the street.
- Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin and there is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
- Rain is not an excuse. The bin does not care if it is raining. Neither does the truck. Put it out anyway.
