The Waste Recovery Centre is currently unable to accept garden organics (FOGO), rubble and higher strength materials (including construction formwork plywood, poles, sleepers and oriented strand board) due to equipment repairs. Delays are expected from 18–25 June 2026. Opening hours remain unchanged. We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience while works are completed.
