Waste Reduction South Australia

We are at the Barossa Food and Wine Village today/ tonight. A team of 6 to educate and maximise diversion from landfill 👍🙂👏

Day 4 of the marathon!
We sort and educate at the bin banks so clean organics capture is the largest volume.
Skips are all 3 cubic metres and we have nearly filled the 3 organics, cardboard is full and waste about a third full so far 😎

It’s (nearly) all for the green bin at the Adelaide International Kite Festival
Last night at the beautiful twilight market we were reminded at every step of the simplicity of “at the bin” education for food and drink waste disposal. So very much simpler now. 👏👏👏 SA’s rolled out single use plastic bans 👏👏👏
🙂
Today it’s perfect weather for kites in the air!

We are looking forward to it Adelaide International Kite Festival!
Loads of compostable food and drink containers and all food scraps to the green bin ✅
10 cent containers all retrieved for the folk that take care of that on the beach front anyway every day ✅
Vendor and event bin cardboard and other recycling will be captured ✅
Vendor compostable coffee grinds and food prep scraps to green ✅
And a bunch of lovely people on the team to help 😊❤️
And kites of course ❤️

Getting ready to rumble at the Adelaide International Kite Festival with our new bin toppers 😊👌💕

City of Marion 2026 Concert at the Cove waste management had it's challenges (needed more green bins) but we pivoted and found solutions to accommodate the huge amount of clean organics collected. Loads of children eating ice-cream = lots of plasticised wipes to remove from food and drink containers so they can be captured for commercial composting. We worked hard and people appreciated it! 😊
9 x 240L bins of organics (had to use some yellow bins to store as well as green but they will be emptied as organics)
0.75 x 240L comingled recycling
4 x 240L 10 cent drink containers (Lions Club took these 👍)
1.8 x 240L landfill
We weighed off bins in the dark to get weight and volume diversion results, achieving 85% diversion from landfill by weight and 91% by volume.
Kath and Jodz are tired little bunnies today!

Come say hi to us today at the Rural City of Murray Bridge Makers Market.
At the bin education and sorting to reduce waste! 👏✅💪🏻🙂❤️

Waste Reduction SA is ready to step up!
Over the last 8 years, the team have worked across South Australia delivering:
• Kerbside bin audits
• Medical and commercial waste audits
• Food diversion programs for businesses
• Large-scale council operations waste management reviews and
• Event waste management for events of all sizes.
South Australia’s single use plastic bans aren’t just about less plastic in landfill – they simplify and increase the volume of organics for recovery at any community event.
To achieve real behaviour change and clean materials in all waste streams we educate and actively manage bin materials at the bin banks. This methodology has won a National Award for Sturt Football Club.
So here’s the challenge: What’s your next event or waste project? What’s your budget? Let WRSA give you a reasonable cost, an efficient team, and outcomes you can stand behind.
Get in touch today – let’s work together to support your community.

Big congratulations to Sturt Football Club 2025 SANFL league Premiers 👏❤️💪😊
Jodie and Kathy from the WRSA team came to support and enjoy the game and big hugs with Jody from the cheer squad 😊❤️
Brilliant!!!!
