What goes in the green bin in SA?
The green lid bin is the organics bin in South Australia and takes garden and food waste: lawn clippings, leaves, prunings that fit, and food scraps. Certified compostable packaging carrying the AS 4736 seedling logo belongs there too. Soft plastics never do. A whole hedge, a tree, stumps or soil are too big for the bin and need another route.
Can I put branches out for hard waste in Adelaide?
Which Bin SA lists prunings among the items a South Australian council may accept in a hard waste collection, cut into 2 metre lengths and tied in bundles up to 30 centimetres in diameter. Whether your council runs a pre-arranged collection or a dedicated collection week, and what it accepts, is the council's call, so check before you start cutting.
Where do I take a trailer load of green waste in SA?
A waste transfer station takes garden waste. Each site sets its own fees and its own rules for clean loads, so ring before you drive. Keep the load clean and sort out plastic pots, bags, wire and tools first, then ask whether soil and stumps are accepted at all before you fill the trailer.
Is paid green waste removal worth it?
For a big job, yes. A crew cuts, chips and loads in an afternoon what would take a weekend and several trailer runs. For a pile that fits in the green bin over a few weeks, or in your council's next hard waste collection, it is not. Ask for a quote that includes disposal, and ask whether they chip on site.
