The Fleurieu Regional Waste Authority (FRWA) has changed the kerbside waste collection service over the peak summer period.

From Monday 18 December to Friday 26 January green-lid organics bins and yellow-lid recycling bins will be collected weekly, rather than fortnightly

Collection of blue-lid bins for general landfill waste will remain fortnightly.

Christmas Day, 25 December, falls on a Monday this year and there will be no kerbside collections that day. 

All collections will be made a day later than usual during this week:

• Monday collection → Tuesday 26 December.
• Tuesday collection → Wednesday 27 December.
• Wednesday collection → Thursday 28 December.
• Thursday collection → Friday 29 December.
• Friday collection → Saturday 30 December.

FRWA advises that it is best to put all bins out the night before, as collection may be very early during this busy time.

In some areas collection may also occur later in the day than usual, so bins should be left out until collected. 

Bin collection will take place on all public holidays, except for Christmas Day.

For information on summer waste collection, what to do if a collection is missed and how to organise and pay for extra services, go to the FRWA website or call the customer service team on 8555 7405.

FRWA is an authority formed by Alexandrina Council, City of Victor Harbor, District Council of Yankalilla and Kangaroo Island Council to service the region.

Goolwa, Yankalilla, Strathalbyn and Kangaroo Island waste and recycling depots will all be closed on all public holidays.
