Resource Recovery Centres
The Resource Recovery Centres are available to the general public for the disposal of Hard Waste and will accept trucks up to two tonne tare.
Waste and Recycling
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 7 am on the day of collection.
Bin Collection Days
Refer to the calendar on the NAWMA website for the current bin collection days.
Garbage Bins
Residents are provided with:
- Free 140L General Rubbish mobile garbage bin
- Free 240L Recycling mobile garbage bin made from 50% new and 50% recycled plastic.
Bins are delivered at no charge, usually within two working days of being requested.
The bins provided remain the property of NAWMA and are registered to aid in theft recovery. These bins must be left at a property when you move.

Hard Waste
City of Salisbury residents can use a hard waste service to recycle large items that cannot be placed in the yellow-lid kerbside bin.
NAWMA provides each household with two, free hard-waste services each financial year (July to June).
You can choose to have your items collected from the council kerb in front of your property or you can use a voucher and take your items to one of two local Resource Recovery Stations (Public Waste Transfer Stations).
Organics Program - Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO)
If you do not already have a green-lid 240L mobile garbage bin (or ‘FOGO’ bin) to dispose of food and garden organic waste you can obtain a one, free of charge, by contacting NAWMA.
Excess garden waste can be taken directly to one of NAWMA’s Resource Recovery Facilities for disposal, although fees may apply. See the NAWMA webpage for details.
Further Information
Waste Collection Schedule
When is your waste being collected?
Hard Waste
City of Salisbury offers a hard waste service for residents and non-profit organisations (excluding government agencies).
Food Waste
By placing food scraps in a kitchen caddy and recycling these in your kerbside food organics and green organics bin, you are helping divert these from general waste and landfill which also lowers the cost to City of Salisbury ratepayers.
Green Waste
NAWMA currently operates a fortnightly green waste service on behalf of The City of Salisbury.
Composting
About half the household waste in Australia is made up of food and garden waste. Most of this material could be composted to save landfill, improve soil condition and provide fertiliser in the garden at no cost.
Recycling
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.
eWaste Recycling
Electronic waste (or e-waste), including televisions and computers, is growing three times faster than any other type of waste in Australia.
TV and Computer Recycling
NAWMA will accept TV's and computers for free at the Pooraka Resource Recovery Centre at 61 Research Road, Pooraka.
Hoarding on council land and roads
‘Hoarding' refers to placing mini skips, shipping containers, erecting scaffolding, installing a temporary toilet or placing building materials or other objects on council land or roads.
