On behalf of the City of Salisbury the Northern Adelaide Waste Management Authority (NAWMA) operates a weekly general waste collection service, a fortnightly recycling service, and a fortnightly greenwaste service. Garden and food organics bins are emptied on the alternate week to the recyclables bin collection. Bins should be placed on the kerb, with wheels closest to your home, by 7am on the day of collection.
Collection dates
Collection dates are marked on the NAWMA calendar which is on their website here. Please refer to the calendar for the appropriate collection days.
Bins
Residents are provided with a free 140L Mobile Garbage Bin (MGB) for general rubbish and a free 240L Recycling Bin made from 50% new and 50% recycled plastic.

These bins must be left at a property when you move.
