Hard Waste Service - City of Salisbury Test - NAWMA - Northern Adelaide Waste Management Authority

Residents of the City of Salisbury can use a hard waste service to recycle large items that cannot be placed in the yellow-lid kerbside bin. NAWMA provides each household with two, free hard-waste services each financial year (July – June). You can choose to have your items collected from the kerb, in front of your property or you can use a hard waste drop-off voucher and take your items to one of two local Resource Recovery Centres.

Have you had two (2) hard waste services this financial year?
- No, I have not had 2 hard waste services this financial year.
- Yes, I already have requested 2 hard waste services this financial year.
Sorry, you’ll have to enquire next financial year to access another free service.

If you have used your two free hard-waste services, there are still other ways that you can avoid sending your items to landfill.

Residents can take hard waste items to one of NAWMA’s Resource Recovery Centres for recycling at any time. Fees apply for some items but many are free to recycle including e-waste, cardboard, paint, car batteries and waste oil. The Resource Recovery Centres are located at Gate 3 Bellchambers Road, Edinburgh North and 63-75 Research Road, Pooraka.

Residents also have the option of donating good quality items to the Salvage and Save shop at NAWMA’s Edinburgh North site. This social enterprise business employs local youth transitioning from the Department of Education’s special education units into employment and offers a range of reuse outcomes including:
- Supporting local businesses i.e. schools, childcare centres, Men’s Sheds with donated items for projects
- Providing affordable goods for the community
- Donating blankets, towels etc to SA Dog Rescue, AWL and Safe Pets Safe Families
- Refurbishing bicycles for donation to “Bicycles for Humanity” and local community in need; and
- Paying forward items for people with disabilities i.e.: wheelchairs, walking frames, showering seats etc
