Recycling and waste
Recycling
Everyone can help the environment by reducing waste.
South Australia has set targets on reducing waste that ends up as landfill by encouraging more recycling.
Waste management
Waste management in South Australia is being transformed. The old landfill model is being replaced by the four ‘Rs’ – reduce, reuse, recycle and recover.
Disposing of hazardous waste
Some solid and liquid waste is considered hazardous and is not suitable for usual collection and disposal. Various options are available for householders and industry to dispose of potentially harmful materials safely.
