IT’S EASY TO
RECYCLE
RECYCLING in the City of Salisbury has
never been easier thanks to a range of
initiatives and services on offer through
the Council.
Televisions and computers continue to be accepted from the public
at no cost as a result of Council’s participation in the National
Television & Computer Recycling Scheme.
The City of Salisbury has received over 465,000kg of television and
computer waste since it started collecting material in September
2012, including 108,000kg received in April 2012 following the
switch-off of the analogue signal. This is a considerable amount
when the average television weighs 22.5kg and the average
computer weighs 12.5kg!
On average, 95 per cent of the material collected under the
scheme has been televisions, with five per cent being computers.
When measured in weight, this equates to approximately 19,600
televisions and 1,850 computers in the past 12 months.
Waste Services
The City of Salisbury offers a hard waste service for residents and
non-profit organisations (excluding Government agencies).
The hard waste service is managed by the Northern Adelaide Waste
Management Authority (NAWMA), which currently operates the
area’s residential three bin service.
Each household is entitled to receive either one free voucher to
dump waste or one home collection service per year.
Council recognises that residents have d ifferent needs, so there are
two options available to them. Residents may choose between:
1. The voucher system, providing residents with access to Council’s
Research Road Waste Transfer Station, free of charge, for one
2.1m x 1.5m x 2.0m metre trailer load per year; or
2. A suburb by suburb booking system, whereby residents can
book up to one month in advance for their hard waste to
be collected from their home, at a fee of $10. There are
two periods per year when residents can access the home
collection service, albeit that only one service collection per
year is available.
