Understanding Adelaide's waste collection schedule is essential for efficient waste management. This guide provides insights into bin collection days, public holiday adjustments, and tips to ensure your waste is collected without issues.

Bin Collection Days

The City of Adelaide offers a regular kerbside waste collection service for residents. The schedule is as follows:

• General Waste (Red Lid): Collected weekly.
• Recycling (Yellow Lid): Collected fortnightly.
• Green Organics (Green Lid): Collected fortnightly.

To find your specific collection days, use the Bin Collection Day Checker provided by the City of Adelaide.

Public Holiday Adjustments

Waste collections continue on public holidays, except for New Year's Day and Christmas Day. During these weeks, collections occur on the day following your normal collection day.

Tips for Efficient Waste Management

• Place bins on the kerb by 6 am on collection day.
• Ensure bins are spaced at least 30 cm apart.
• Keep bin lids closed to prevent littering.
• Do not overfill bins; the lid should close completely.
• Retrieve bins promptly after collection to keep streets tidy.
