FRWA offers residential and business customers a range of flexible additional collection services. These services are in addition to the standard kerbside collection service, which allows for the collection of one set of bins per available waste stream per rateable property assessment.
Residents and businesses can purchase extra annual kerbside services at the same collection time as their existing in-cycle collections. Additional bin service is available for purchase per rateable property assessment (excluding vacant land).
*Note: Complying bins MUST be purchased and collected separately.
FRWA sell the following compliant bins that are available for collection from the waste and recycling depots. Bins can be purchased from third parties, provided they comply with the following sizes and colours.

Additional bin collection is an annual service, and bins will only be collected when displaying the current sticker. Bins with expired stickers will not be emptied until they display a current sticker.
As an annual service, prices are based on a quarterly pro-rata rate, as shown in the table below.
NB: Only the complete duration of service till the end of the financial year is available each quarter, e.g. you can not purchase 3 months in July, only 12 months.

Businesses may also be interested in FRWA’s weekly commercial food waste collection service available in several areas across the Fleurieu Peninsula.
A) Out-of-cycle – extra collection outside your regular collection schedule
A pre-booked service may be available when your general waste bin needs an additional empty outside the regular fortnightly collection for $34 first bin and $12 further additional bins collected at the same time.
B) In-cycle – extra bin with your regular collection schedule
If you own a second compliant bin and need it emptied along with your regular fortnightly collection, you can call and request an additional individual collection for $12 per bin.
*Note: Bins will only be collected with prior arrangement/request/payment. Additional bins placed out without additional notes in the driver’s manifest or current stickers will not be emptied.
To book an ad-hoc additional collection service, call FRWA customer service on 8555 2467.
You can also take your bins (or bagged equivalent) to one of our depots during opening hours for disposal – $6.00 per 140lt general, $9 per 240lt green FOGO bin (no fee on Kangaroo Island due to council subsidy).
Your yellow recycling bin is free to empty at the depots. Depot days, details and prices
Exceptional Circumstances (EC) bin service provision aims to assist households that produce domestic medical/incontinence waste. Three of the four Councils we service also offer EC provisions for large families (5 or more permanent residents – not holiday homes) and households with children in nappies, including City of Victor Harbor, District Council of Yankalilla and Kangaroo Island Council.
Eligible households may apply for a free additional fortnightly kerbside collection of one extra 140L EC waste bin (at the same time, and in addition to, the one 140L general waste bin fortnightly collection provided as part of your Council kerbside waste collection service).
See the Exceptional Circumstances (EC) Bins page for conditions.
