As from 1 July 2015 fees and charges have been introduced for the disposal of some domestic waste items. The charges on these items reflect the additional cost to the Shire in handling, processing and/or removing the products from site in an approved manner.
Please note: the gatekeeping staff must collect the fees at each site prior to disposal of these wastes and are unable to waive the fees at the time of entry. Refer to page 48 of Fees and Charges.
Please refer to the Pilbara Regional Waste Management Facility.
