The Barossa Council Public Library and Kind Milk warmly invite you to a special free community Baby Shower! 🍼

This event is for all expectant families, including those preparing to welcome a baby through pregnancy, fostering, surrogacy, or adoption.

Join for a relaxed and fun-filled morning where you can ask all those questions you’ve been wondering about when it comes to having a baby and navigating those first few weeks at home.

You’ll also discover simple ways to support your baby’s early language and literacy development through songs, stories and reading 📚

Most importantly, it’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with other families in your community, share experiences, ask questions and have some fun!

Book your free kerbside collection before it closes!!

The kerbside collection service is available in the townships of Angaston, Eden Valley, Lyndoch, Moculta, Mount Pleasant, Nuriootpa, Penrice, Sandy Creek, Springton, Stockwell, Tanunda and Williamstown. Some collection boundaries however have recently been extended to parts of Kalbeeba, Concordia, Cockatoo Valley, Bethany, Vine Vale, Light Pass and additional areas of Williamstown.

If you are confirmed for a kerbside collection, a Solo Resource Recovery vehicle will collect your items on a nominated day in October or November, from the kerbside directly outside your house.

** See FAQs for list of eligible items and how they need to be placed to keep everyone safe.

Rural and township residents who are unable to secure a kerbside collection, or would prefer a voucher, are eligible for a waste voucher. This provides you with the choice to bring items to Springton Transfer Station or Eco Waste Solutions Willaston. Vouchers expire on 30 June 2027.

To register for either service contact Solo Resource Recovery by phoning 8159 5053 or email [email protected]

Registrations close 4 November 2026
