It’s easy to Recycle Right in South Australia
Don’t want to let your recycling go to waste? Can't remember which council bin your unwanted items should go into?
You can check out what goes into each bin at home, and also how to dispose of televisions, computers, batteries, fluorescent lamps, nappies and paint through your council.
Remember putting the wrong items in your recycling bin can contaminate the whole load, meaning valuable material that could be recycled, ends up being sent to landfill instead.
