Removing other household waste
Just a reminder for problem household wastes such as batteries, cardboard, computers, televisions, paints, light globes, mobile phones, textiles, batteries, gas bottles, fire extinguishers and smoke detectors, drop them off at our Community Recycling Centre (CRC), located at the Minnamurra Waste and Recycling Facility.
The CRC facility will be closed Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
Disposing of your Christmas Tree
To dispose of live Christmas trees, please cut them up and place in your green lid bin with other FOGO waste.
To dispose of artificial Christmas trees, place them in your red lid bin (they are not recyclable).
