- Fridges and air con units – fee covers degassing. If able to provide a certificate from a local licenced contractor to prove it is already degassed it will be accepted for free.
- Tyres – fee covers collection and recycling of the various sizes and types of tyres.
- Mattresses – fee covers transport plus the cost of a company stripping and recycling most materials in the mattress. Scrap metal is recycled and so is most of the foam for carpet underlays. Only a small residual amount goes to landfill that cannot be reused. Residents can strip their mattress themselves (at their own risk) and then only need to pay for the volume of non-recyclable parts to landfill.
- Construction + Demolition Material (uncontaminated) – fee covers the cost to have the material crushed.
- Asbestos – small amounts are accepted with the fee covering transport and safe burial at a licenced facility.
- Green waste - lawn clippings, pruning, branches. The fee covers the cost of mulching.
- General waste - household non recyclable waste
- Treated timber -chemically treated wood used to protect against termites, fungi, rot and weathering. The fee covers monthly bin hire, transport and disposal of treated timber.
Please note: the 2026/27 treated timber separation and the new fee will commence once the dedicated bin is in place at the Waste Facility. This is currently expected to occur in late September to early October 2026. The Shire will provide an update when the start date is confirmed. Until then, treated timber will continue to be disposed of with general waste and will be charged at the general waste rate. For more information, see: Timber Treatment
Shire staff investigate new recycling and waste recovery streams on an ongoing basis so this list may be expanded as new options become available.
