Our Bullsbrook and Malaga recycling centres are approved PSHB waste management facilities, where community members can dispose of green waste and wooden furniture items. 

When transporting these items, it is the community member’s responsibility to make sure that all loads are sealed and fully covered. 

The City has also received approval to continue shredding and distributing green waste material. 

For more information on the PSHB, see the DPIRD website.
