Each household is entitled to two free at-call hard waste collections per year (up to two cubic metres each, about a standard trailer load); additional collections cost $52.50.
Your kerbside bins#
- Red lid, general waste
Three-bin service via East Waste: a red-lid general waste bin collected weekly, and a yellow-lid recycling bin and green-lid food and garden waste bin collected fortnightly on alternate weeks. Each household gets one free kitchen organics caddy.
- Yellow lid, recycling
Rinsed bottles, jars, cans, paper and cardboard, placed loose. Check the council page for glass and soft plastics rules in your area.
- Green lid, organics
Food waste from the kitchen caddy is emptied into the green-lid bin and collected with garden waste fortnightly, then recycled into compost.
The lid colours follow Australian Standard AS 4123 nationally, but the accepted-item list is set by City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters. See what bin does it go in for the item-by-item answers, and the purple glass bin rollout for where a fourth lid is arriving.
