Kerbside Collection Service - Delivery of New Bins

Residents are advised that commencing from February 25, new bins will be delivered to each residential property and participating business, as part of the introduction of Council’s new kerbside collection service.  The delivery of the bins is expected to take approximately four weeks, with the first collection of these bins to commence from April 8.

Each resident and participating business will receive :

  • A new 240lt yellow lid bin for recyclables
  • A new 140lt red lid bin for general waste
  • Information pack on the operation of the new service

Residents are able to use their existing 240lt green bin for green waste.

Those businesses who have not responded to this letter or who may not have received it, should contact Jodie Christensen at Council immediately on tel. 8633 9751 or email: jchristensen@pirie.sa.gov.au

Please note that Council will only provide a waste service to those businesses that have requested the service.
