What We Do
What We Do
Open seven days a week, the West Metro Recycling Centre provides comprehensive waste recycling, treatment and disposal services for acceptable items for residents, businesses and councils. In its capacity as a transfer station, the Recycling Centre aggregates, compacts and loads large volumes of municipal solid waste into silos for effective and efficient transfer to distant sites for appropriate treatment or disposal.
In 2023-24, we received and processed nearly 38,000 tonnes of waste and recyclables from councils, commercial customers and residents.
