State Planning Reforms

New planning reforms will change the way development applications are lodged and assessed. Council is lobbying the State Government for better heritage protection and hopes the community can help by having a say on the new Code. In response to requests from our residents, Council has provided some example submission letters for each of our 6 Council Wards.

Waste Collection

Information on collection of the 3 Bins & a Basket and what to put in each bin.

Recycling

Information on mobile phone, plastic and battery recycling.

Composting

Composting is an effective means of diverting "waste" from landfill, and is great for use on gardens as an organic soil conditioner to add nutrients and improve soil characteristics.

Hard Waste

The City of Burnside offers a FREE At-Call home collection service for hard waste.

Re-use

The City of Burnside is committed to reducing the amount of waste we send to landfill by encouraging re-use, repair and sharing.

Electronic Waste

It is important to recycle the materials used in electronic goods. The recycling process creates jobs in South Australia and reduces landfill. Electronic waste (e-waste) has been banned from landfill since 2013.

Hazardous Waste

Disposal methods for batteries, fluorescent light globes, gas cylinders, motor oil, paint, asbestos and sharps.

Illegal Dumping

Illegal dumping is the deliberate disposal of materials onto public land without a licence, permit or approval from the relevant authority. It is a criminal offence, with a maximum penalty of $5,000.

Litter Bins

Litter Bins are emptied 1 to 3 times per week. These bins are located in our parks, reserves and on some streets.
