Take the Pledge to send Less to Landfill
Did you know
Recent bin inspections found that many red lidded household waste bins were overfull with materials which could be recycled or mulched. Do you know what items can be recycled in your yellow lidded bin, or mulched via your green lidded bin?
What can you do?
Take the online pledge below to commit to sending less to landfill, by using your yellow and green lidded bins for recyclable and compostable materials. Once you have taken the pledge, we will send you a sticker to place on your red lidded bin to show everyone you are committed to reducing landfill. You will also go in the draw to win a gift box from the Tourism and Arts Centre, or a voucher to the Waste Transfer Station (valued at $30).

Take the Pledge!

Eligibility:
Entry is available only to Port Pirie Regional Council residents.

How to enter:
1. Using the Port Pirie Regional Council website, entrants must submit the ‘Take the Pledge’ online form. Entries open on Monday 23rd January, 2017.
2. All Port Pirie Regional Council residents who ‘Take the Pledge’ will be sent a sticker to place on their red lidded bin to demonstrate their commitment to reducing landfill.

Competition Timeline and Structure:
Pledges received via the online form will be organised by KESAB into groups defined by collection day.
Each week of the competition period (Monday 6 March, 2017 - Friday 12 May, 2017), a collection day will be selected at random, with up to 10 households on that collection day chosen to have their bins visually inspected. Bin inspections will be conducted by Veolia collection truck drivers.

The purpose of a bin inspection is to determine whether correct bin usage has occurred at the selected property. Correct bin usage will be determined by no visible signs of recycling or garden organics in the waste (red lidded) bin, and no sign of contamination in the recycling (yellow lidded) or organics (green lidded) bins (whichever is presented at the time).

Only households presenting bins with the ‘I’m Sending Less to Landfill’ sticker will be included in the judging, and therefore be eligible for a prize.

Winning households will be awarded a voucher which must be taken to the Port Pirie Regional Council Office, 115 Ellen Street, Port Pirie SA 5540, to be redeemed for their chosen prize (either a gift box from the Tourism and Arts centre, or a voucher to the Waste Transfer Station (valued at $30)).

Prize:
All Port Pirie Regional Council residents who ‘Take the Pledge’ will go in the draw to win their choice of either a gift box from the Tourism and Arts centre, or a voucher to the Waste Transfer Station (valued at $30).

A total of 50 prizes will be available over the 10 week competition period. Total prize pool value is $1,500 (including GST). Up to 5 prizes will be available per week of the competition period.
