Council announces free green waste disposal during October 2025

Published on 31 July 2025

Hindmarsh Shire Council is pleased to announce that residents will be able to dispose of their green waste free of charge at all Transfer Stations for the entire month of October 2025. This popular initiative will run from Wednesday 1 October 2025 through to Friday 31 October 2025.
