Operations
The WMRC operates the West Metro Recycling Centre in Shenton Park, which received around 31,000 tonnes of waste and recyclables in 2017-18 from councils, commercial customers and residents. We improve the efficiency of household waste transport by consolidating loads for transport to distant sites.
