Waste Collection Calendars for 2017

Waste Management is important to the Berri Barmera Council and remains as a key strategic focus to continue to improve on.

Changes in legislation have required dramatic changes in the way that Councils across Australia process rubbish, in particular the closing of old outdated rubbish dumps and the introduction of waste transfer stations with a focus on recycling of materials.

Private enterprise manages the Waste Transfer Facility for our district, as well as the collection and disposal of waste from our district.

Rubbish Collection

Each residential township property in the Berri Barmera District is issued with a set of waste bins (3 bin system) being: 240-litre (green),  140-litre (red) & 240-litre (yellow) by Council.

There are weight restrictions for collection.  Your bin is now allowed to weigh no more than:

- Red bin - 60kg

- Green and Yellow - 80kg.

If anything should happen to the bins, new parts are available at a small cost and can be paid for and collected from the Berri or Barmera office. If, however the bin becomes lost or stolen, the property owner will need to contact Council to order a new one at a cost of $88.00.  Bins that are damaged and are found to be over 10 years old (as per Council's Bin Register) will be replaced at 1/2 cost.

All bins will need to be collected and signed for from the Berri Works Depot situated on Hughes Street, Berri.

Council commissions Cleanaway to collect your rubbish on a weekly basis.
