Waste Management Plan

The City of Port Adelaide Enfield provides waste management services to its community through the provision of a domestic and public place bin collection service. It also promotes opportunities to increase recycling and minimize waste.

Council's waste management goal is to provide a comprehensive, efficient and effective waste management service in accordance with best practice technology.

Council has prepared a three year waste management plan that sets out measurable objectives, strategies and proposed actions in the areas of domestic and public place waste, household hazardous waste, litter and illegal dumping and industrial waste.

This waste management plan is based on issues identified in the report Waste Management in the City of Port Adelaide Enfield - Profiles, Issues and Opportunities, and is very much in accordance with State Government direction through Zero Waste SA.

Zero Waste SA promotes waste management practices that, as far as possible, eliminate waste or its consignment to landfill, advance the development of resource recovery and recycling, and are based on an integrated strategy for the State.

Waste Management Services

Council is committed to ensuring that its waste collection and disposal service is efficient and cost effective, and helps to reduce the incidence of litter and the impact of waste on our environment.

Dealing with increasing amounts of waste in our communities has become an issue for governments at all levels. Local government, in particular, is responsible for ensuring that waste management strategies are as efficient as possible.

Council's waste collection service aims to assist all residents to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill and help to preserve our environment for future generations.

Your help and cooperation, and that of all residents of our city, is vital if we are to make this service as effective as possible. It won't cost you any more - apart from a little care in choosing how you dispose of your waste. Yet it will provide big savings for our environment.

Public Place Waste Management

Approximately 1500 litter bins, including butt-out bins and doggy dispensers for dog droppings, have been provided throughout the city.

For any litter bin queries or maintenance, a request can be made by completing the online Request Assistance form or by contacting one of Council's helpful Customer Service Team on (08) 8405 6600 or by email.
