Charles Sturt, SA becomes more responsive to waste management needs with Public Litter Bins Project

City officials reviewed financial analyses, neighboring council policies, and community feedback about its public litter bins. A City Clean team was created to empty up to 300 bins per day compared to 55 in the past. The team's compactor truck was named the Bin Chicken after a public naming contest. OptiRoute software was adopted for streamlined routes by council personnel and vehicles. The Public Litter Bins Project also removed or reallocated 140 bins based on usage data.

Port Adelaide Enfield, SA works with local manufacturer on a recycled curbside bin pilot

The council's three-bin system uses bins made from 30% recycled plastic. Trident Plastics supplied Port Adelaide Enfield and Charles Sturt with enough bins entirely made from out-of-service bins for 200 households. Local officials will evaluate bin performance and participant experiences during the one-year pilot. A successful trial would lead to the eventual replacement of every bin with 100% recycled products.
