Rubbish and recycling

We are committed to providing services which help us reduce waste to landfill.

This is underpinned by our 2020-2030 Waste Management Strategy.

We provide kerbside collection of waste, recycling and optional green waste/kitchen organics in all townships in the Central Goldfields Shire.

We also provide four transfer stations and a kerbside hard rubbish collection service for urban residents.

Please see the Sustainable Waste Management Guide(PDF, 5MB) for more information on waste services in the Central Goldfields Shire.
