Coolgardie Waste Facility
New Household Waste Service
The Council at its March meeting replaced the Tip Passes with a new Household Waste Service, which has been designed to reduce waste, promote correct waste disposal and household clean-up. The new service commences on 1st May, 2023.
Under the new Household Waste Service, fees and charges are waived for all Shire residents. Tip Passes will no longer be required for household waste disposal at the Shire’s waste facilities:
- Coolgardie Waste Facility; and
- Kambalda Transfer Station.
Residents will be able to make unlimited trips to the Shire’s waste facilities and deposit unlimited household waste.
