Your green waste becomes local mulch – eventually

Green waste + machinery + labour + time + transport = mulch
Our region’s green waste that comes through the Fleurieu Regional Waste Authority (FRWA) Waste and Recycling Depots is a perfect example of the circular economy. A waste product that used to end up in landfill is now processed and converted into useful mulch.

If you're dropping off a load of green waste, why not fill up the empty trailer by buying some local mulch - your garden will thank you for it. Please remember to bring a suitable tarp to completely cover the mulch load; a tarp must be shown to the gatehouse attendant to buy mulch.

Goolwa shed rebuild progress following last year'sbattery fire

Today we've had some new roller doors installed, so I guess that means the shed rebuild is ... rolling along (sorry 🙃).

We're definitely glad to be able to utilise more of the shed bays, but there will still be some restrictions and diversions for a little while to go. Thanks for everyone's patience.

🔥 Please remember - no battery in any bin or hidden in depot waste. Please separate and let the gatehouse attendant know for free (and safe) disposal.

👷🛠 Goolwa shed rebuild update.

⚡💡 Walls are up, and most of the roof, with a lot of electrical work going on at the moment.

There is still a lot of work to go, but we are excited that it's starting to look the part again.

🔥 This weekend marks a year since a battery fire caused all the damage. Please remember that all batteries are a fire risk. NO batteries in any bin or hidden in depot waste. Free battery disposal at all FRWA Depots, or Google bcycle for other free options.

We thank everyone for their support during the rebuild and for their patience with any diversions.
