Kerbside Collection

The City of Playford together with NAWMA (Northern Adelaide Waste management Authority) provides services for your waste and recycling, including hard waste collections, transfer station, and kerbside bin services.

Residents have access to a three bin kerbside waste management system.

• 140 litre red lidded wheelie bin for household rubbish. This is provided free of charge by NAWMA.
• 240 litre yellow lidded recycling wheelie bin for recycling materials. This is also supplied free of charge by NAWMA.
• 240 litre wheelie bin (which you may like to purchae from Bunnings, NAWMA or other suppliers) for the disposal of garden and food organics (this bin must have a green lid). This bin must be registered with NAWMA, and display NAWMA's green sticker before it will be emptied. This is a user pays system whereby you pay a direct fee for the service.The annual registration fee for service is a pro-rata fee, charges as follows:

Please remember:

• the household rubbish bin is emptied weekly;
• the recyclables bin is emptied fortnightly, and
• the garden and food organics bin is emptied on the opposite week to the recyclables bin.

The collection dates are clearly indicated on the calendar circulated by NAWMA. Refer to the calendar for the appropriate collection days. Please ensure that your bin is on the kerb (wheels closer to the house) by 7am on your day of collection.

A reminder that all wheelie bins should be returned to your property as soon as possible after emptying.  If they are left on the kerbside, this creates a hazard for pedetrians and also increases the chance of the bins being vandalised or stolen.
