Waste Management Centre to reopen

Following recently updated health advice from the EPA, the Waste Management Centre is set to reopen to the public.

Mayor Ian North said Council received advice from the EPA on Wednesday afternoon stating waste and recycling operations, including those open to the public, can recommence.

“The Waste Management Centre was closed to the public due to the public health order in place,” he said.

“Council now has received information from the EPA that household services, including waste and recycling services is a reason to leave your home.”

“The Waste Management Centre will be open to the public at 7.30am Friday morning, but we would encourage that people delay their visit if they can, to reduce queueing. The WMC will be open 8.30am – 3.30pm on the weekend.”

“Could I request that people are patient and are respectful to our hard-working WMC staff and to also observe Public Health Order requirements to wear a mask at all times and observe social distancing. QR code check in will be required by all members of the public that attend the Waste Management Centre.”
