4worldlovers:
City of South Perth residents and property owners can dispose of additional waste and recycling at the Recycling Centre.

Open Wednesday to Sunday 8am-2pm. Last vehicle acceptance is 1.45pm on Saturday and Sunday.

As part of the annual rubbish levy, residential ratepayers receive three entry vouchers for the Recycling Centre. These are sent out at the beginning of each financial year with the rates notices.

The vouchers entitle the residential ratepayer to dispose of two payloads of green waste and one payload of general waste per year.

To use, tear off the whole entry voucher and present it in full to the attendant at the Recycling Centre.

Your assessment number and barcode is printed on the entry voucher

Once you have used your voucher you will not be able to get a second voucher

You will not be able to receive a replacement voucher if it is lost. Please keep it in a safe place

Occupiers who are not owners or do not pay a rubbish levy are not entitled to receive an entry voucher

Occupiers will need to obtain the voucher from the property owner or pay to use the Recycling Centre

The gate attendant’s assessment of the voucher and load will be final.

Payloads should be no bigger than a level trailer (6x4) or 2m3 and less than 250kg. A fee will apply if a City of South Perth Recycling Centre voucher is not presented at the Recycling Centre gate, or for any payload considered larger than the maximum payload size.

Due to our facility being approved as a Recycling Centre, we can’t accept all waste.

Further information about the disposal of hazardous waste is available from the Waste Authority.

To assist the City of South Perth in reducing waste to landfill and increasing recycling, the following items are accepted at no additional charge at the Recycling Centre if they are separated from general waste loads. Commercial businesses are not eligible for the free service.

Monitors, printers, faxes, scanners, multi-function units that scan/fax/print, and web cameras

Compact disc drives, digital video disk drives, hard drives and floppy drives

Clean and uncontaminated cardboard, packing boxes, magazines, newspapers - no wrapping, polystyrene foam or similar

Uncontaminated used motor oil (not contaminated with other petroleum products, coolants or similar) to a maximum of 20 litres per visit

Some recyclable items will incur a fee (vouchers are not valid for most of these items).

The City has partnered with TerraCycle, a waste management company that recycles non-woven disposable plastic-based masks, including three-ply surgical, dust masks, KN95 and N95 masks through their Zero Waste collection boxes.

The City will be trialling two Zero Waste boxes, available at both the Civic Centre and Recycling Centre and invites residents to dispose of their used masks.

These masks are quarantined for at least two months before processing and manual sorting. Metal from the nose clips is removed and plastic is melted down into low-grade plastic pellets, which are then used in the manufacture of a variety of new products including outdoor furniture, park benches and decking.

Expanded polystyrene (EPS), or polystyrene foam, is a white light-weight and bulky material that is often difficult to dispose of in your general bin. This material is often used in packaging for furniture or electronic goods, often together with cardboard. Polystyrene can be recycled at Recycling Centre free of charge.
