In Progress

Marion, Adelaide, Charles Sturt, and Port Adelaide Enfield agreed to a joint collection contract with waste service Cleanaway.

The all-electric vehicle produces limited emissions and noise while traveling up to 120 kilometers per charge. Council leaders are looking at real-world range, performance, and maintenance before a potential fleet expansion.
