Residents of the Alexandrina, Yankalilla and Victor Harbor council districts can dump green waste this weekend, 6 and 7 November, for half price.

The Fleurieu Regional Waste Authority is offering the discount to help residents prepare for the fire danger season, which will start on 1 December.

The Goolwa FRWA Waste and Recycling Depot on Port Elliot Road will be open for green waste (and other rubbish) from 9am to 3.30pm on Saturday and Sunday.

The Strathalbyn Depot on Forrest Road and the Yankalilla Depot on Inman Valley Road will be open on Sunday from 10am to 4pm.

The Country Fire Service launched a campaign this week to remind people that the time to prepare their families and properties for the upcoming fire season is now.

The fire danger season has already started in some South Australian districts, including the Flinders, Yorke Peninsula and Eastern Eyre Peninsula.

The Mount Lofty Ranges, Kangaroo Island and Adelaide Metropolitan will be the last fire ban districts to start on 1 December.

Minister for Emergency Services Vincent Tarzia says this year's CFS campaign is re-enforcing important messaging to ensure the community are informed, educated, and prepared.

"This year's campaign features a combination of previous messaging including the powerful and emotional advertisement 'Fire, Fire, go away', which aims to get people thinking about what they're willing to lose, to ensure they plan accordingly," he says.

"As South Australians, we unfortunately know the real-life impacts that bushfires can have on our communities and livelihoods.

"It's important to check weather forecasts, know your Fire Danger Ratings and what you can and can't do on days of Total Fire Ban."

SA Metropolitan Fire Service (MFS) Deputy Chief Officer Paul Fletcher said bushfire risk is not limited to remote parts of South Australia. 

"All South Australians live with the risk of bushfire. The urban fringes of metropolitan Adelaide and regional towns and cities, and the Adelaide Hills are also key bushfire risk areas," Mr Fletcher said. 

"And, even if people don't live in a bushfire prone area, it is inevitable that most of us will visit, work in, drive through or holiday in an area of bushfire risk during bushfire season. That's why the fire services are urging everyone to know where their Bushfire Safer Place is, well before a fire starts."
