How bin collection works in South Australia

South Australia pioneered container deposits in 1977 and remains a national leader in waste reform. Most metropolitan Adelaide councils run a three-bin system: blue or red lid general waste collected weekly or fortnightly, yellow lid recycling, and green lid organics that accepts food scraps in most council areas.

The state container deposit scheme refunds 10 cents per eligible container, and South Australian households recycle at some of the highest rates in the country. Several Adelaide councils have trialled weekly FOGO with fortnightly general waste to push food scraps out of landfill.

Many SA councils, including those in the northern Adelaide region, deliver waste services through regional subsidiaries, which is why neighbouring suburbs often share identical schedules.
