Fleurieu Regional Waste Authority (FRWA) would like to announce a significant change to its kerbside collection schedule, set to take effect from July 1, 2023.

The change in schedule will increase efficiencies and reduce green-house gas emissions, while simplifying the collection calendar for the community.

All residents within Alexandrina Council, City of Victor Harbor and District Council of Yankalilla, will begin fortnightly collections with a general waste bin (blue lid) collection the first week of July, then a recycling bin and green organics bin on the same day in the second week of July.

This change will mean that some areas will receive two general waste collections in a row, where their last collection in June is a general waste.

For example, this will occur for residents in central Victor Harbor township, Strathalbyn township and Mount Compass townships.

Some areas will also experience a collection day change.

In the in Alexandrina Council area, Chiton and a small section of Port Elliot will move to a Tuesday collection.

Goolwa/Goolwa South, Currency Creek, Tooperang, Mosquito Hill will move to a Wednesday collection. Goolwa North will move to a Friday collection.

In City of Victor Harbor council area: Encounter Bay will move to a Monday and Hayborough and McCracken will move to a Tuesday collection.

In the DC Yankalilla, most residents will experience a collection day change and strongly encouraged to familiarise themselves with the updated schedule beginning July 1 at the Fleurieu Regional Waste Authority website (www.frwa.com.au).

All residents are encouraged to stay informed about the new kerbside collection schedule by visiting (www.frwa.com.au).
