Explore Councils by state
Are you still inundated with cardboard boxes from Christmas? Or did you use the break to do a major clean out of the whole house?
Get rid of the bulky unused items around your home at the City of Wanneroo’s Community Waste Drop Off event over the weekend of 2 - 3 February.
Residents will be able to get rid of a range of different items that will be re-used or recycled, including tyres, e-waste, clothing and bulk cardboard.
Mayor Tracey Roberts said this was another way the City of Wanneroo was creating waste management solutions.
“Last year we collected 1000 tyres, 7.7 tonnes of e-waste, and more than 100 car boots full of clothing,” Mayor Roberts said. “That is an incredible amount of waste that was saved from going to landfill.
“This event provides the perfect opportunity to bring along those items that you should not put in your household bins, so that they can be disposed of correctly or given new life.”
The Community Waste Drop Off Weekend demonstrates the City’s commitment to sustainable waste management by reducing waste going to landfill.
