Waste Recovery Centre

Temporary opening hours:

• weekdays: 7:30am to 3:30pm
• Australia Day, 26 January: 7:30am to 12pm (midday)
• weekends: closed

All visitors must register by QR-code on entry. Face masks are required.

Despite the ups and downs in the number of COVID-19 cases to date, we have continued to safely offer our waste management services. To continue to offer these services, we are temporarily adjusting the opening hours of the Waste Recovery Centre.

From the week starting 17 January to the week ending 13 February, the Waste Recovery Centre will be open Monday to Friday and closed on Saturday and Sunday.

We have introduced these changes temporarily because of the significant transmission of COVID-19 and its impacts on our employees. We plan to return the Waste Recovery Centre to 7-day a week opening hours from 14 February.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Corner of Waterdale Road and Banksia Street, Bellfield

Much more than a tip, the WRC is a place to bring your unwanted items for reuse, recycling or disposal.

Your load should be clean, sorted into groups, and ready to go.

Understand what you can drop off, what we won’t accept, and the restrictions on the size of your load.

Access

Please ensure that your waste is sorted before arrival to help reduce customer wait time. If your waste products are not separated, you may be asked to leave and come back once your load is sorted.

Be aware that cardboard and e-waste disposal services are in high demand and may exceed capacity. You may need to return at a later time.

There have been changes to the layout to the WRC during closure. Our team members will let you know what has changed when you arrive.

Residents in Banyule requiring waste disposal can book a hard waste collection (subject to availability).

Bulk waste fees

All fees include GST.

Mixed loads are charged at most expensive rate. E-waste will only be accepted in residential quantities.
