Residential Household Waste
New Tip Pass System for Residents – Effective 1 August 2025
From 1 August 2025, the Shire is introducing a tip pass system in line with updated waste fees and charges. Under this system, all waste disposals will be charged per visit, with the exception of hazardous waste, which remains restricted.
Tip Passes Now Required
Residents will need a tip pass to dispose of household waste at the following Shire waste facilities:
- Coolgardie Waste Facility
- Kambalda Transfer Station
Each household will receive a tip pass valid for 10 visits per financial year. Each visit allows the disposal of one 6x4 trailer load of household waste.
If you have used all 10 visits, additional tip passes can be purchased at:
- Coolgardie and Kambalda waste facilities
- Coolgardie and Kambalda Recreation Centres
What can I dispose of for free?
The following materials can still be disposed of free of charge, provided they meet acceptance criteria:
- Green waste
- Clean soil
- Scrap metal
These materials do not count toward your 10 annual visits.
For all charged waste please see our fees and charges.
Accepted Waste
For further information on what waste is accepted at the sites, please refer to the facility you wish to dispose at.
General Information
Before entering the Waste Facility, all users are required to stop and weigh as data needs to be captured for reporting and compliance purposes.
It is a condition of entry to the waste facilities that everyone follow directional and safety instructions from Shire staff.
Refusal to follow all directional and safety instructions may result in denial of service.
No scavenging of waste is permitted at either of our sites
