South Australia is a world leader in recycling, but in 2019, the recycling bins in the main retail strip of Rundle Mall of Adelaide have been removed. This means there is no easy way for citizens to recycle containers and is adding to our state's waste problem.

We suspect this was done as a deterrent for "anti-social" behaviour of the men and women who collect recycling to earn money through the container deposit scheme. 

However there is a better way: Port Lincoln council recently installed recycling rails along side outdoor bins: allowing a more hygienic and dignified way for bottle collectors to remove recyclable items and providing a better zero waste option.

This petition is to ask the City of Adelaide to install recycling rails to all city bins, to facilitate a more sensible and dignified way to approach waste management in our city.
