About Us

Thorntons Recycling has been a cornerstone in Adelaide's recycling landscape for over four decades. Established with the vision of providing Adelaide residents and businesses with an efficient recycling service, we have continually evolved to meet the growing environmental needs of our community.

Our Journey

Beginning as a modest bottle and can recycling depot, Thorntons has expanded its services to handle a diverse range of recyclable materials. Our commitment to reducing landfill waste has driven us to innovate and adapt, ensuring that our processes are both practical and environmentally friendly. Located just ten minutes from the Adelaide CBD, our recycling facility offers a convenient drive-thru service, making recycling accessible and hassle-free for all.

Comprehensive Recycling Services

At Thorntons Recycling, we pride ourselves on accepting a wide array of materials, including:

  • Beverage Containers: Glass bottles, plastic bottles, aluminium cans, and cardboard cartons are eligible for South Australia's container deposit scheme.
  • E-waste: Proper disposal and recycling of electronic waste to prevent environmental contamination.
  • Scrap Metal: Recycling of various metals, contributing to resource conservation.
  • Batteries and Polystyrene: Safe recycling options for materials that require special handling.

Our goal is to provide a one-stop solution for all recycling needs, ensuring that materials are processed responsibly and efficiently.

Every item recycled at Thorntons contributes to a significant reduction in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. By choosing to recycle with us, you're playing a vital role in conserving natural resources and promoting a sustainable future for Adelaide.

Community Engagement

Education is critical to cultivating a culture of sustainability. Thorntons actively engages with local schools, businesses, and community groups to promote recycling initiatives and environmental awareness. Our partnerships aim to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools necessary to make eco-friendly choices in their daily lives.
