People will have more opportunities to ‘go green’ with the introduction of a mandatory green organics service in selected townships from next financial year.
The service will be rolled out across Angaston, Penrice, Tanunda, Springton, Mount Pleasant, Nuriootpa, Lyndoch, Williamstown and Stockwell.
The new service will help people make conscious choices around waste disposal to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.
Mayor Bim Lange says it’s surprising just how much can go in the green bin.
“It really does start with small, thoughtful choices by individuals, which collectively can have a big impact,” he says.
People who can demonstrate they already have a suitable green waste system in place will be able to apply to opt out by April, 2021.
