Recycling
The Northern Adelaide Waste Management Authority (NAWMA) currently operates a free fortnightly recycling service on behalf of The City of Salisbury. In the 2009-2010 financial year, NAWMA collected over 12,230 tonnes of recyclable material from Salisbury residences.
To participate in this recycling service, new residents should request a 240 litre recycling bin from NAWMA. City of Salisbury Customer Service staff can organise this on your behalf.
To order a new bin, contact customer service on 08 8406 8222 or send your request through the online form below:
