Central Adelaide Waste and Recycling Authority
In August 2019, the Cities of Port Adelaide Enfield and Charles Sturt joined forces to take back control of recycling for our communities by establishing a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) to process our recyclables.
It’s important to both Councils that our communities can see where their recycling goes and how we are buying back the recycled materials and using them in our parks, roads, Council services and infrastructure.
In early 2020, the Central Adelaide Waste and Recycling Authority CAWRA (pronounced cor-rah) was established to deliver South Australia’s newest MRF.
The formation of CAWRA's Board is currently underway. Development of the operational arm will continue to emerge over the coming months with new jobs created as CAWRA gears up to commence operation of the facility in 2021.
The CAWRA Charter(PDF, 478.04 KB) is now available.
