Walliston Transfer Station
The Entry Pass, in conjunction with appropriate identification, provides ratepayers and residents unlimited entries for the disposal of certain recyclables including but not limited to green waste, cardboard, e-waste, batteries, glass and metal.
2.4 To ensure contaminated sites are safe and managed to ultimate use.
Limited entries (four per financial year) apply to general waste, whitegoods, timber, mattresses and clean building rubble. Previously, non-Kalamunda residents illegitimately trying to use the facility to dispose of waste significantly increased costs of disposal due to unsustainable volumes. The Entry Pass ensures only City ratepayers/residents can access the facility.
The City has continued to undertake studies, maintenance and remedial works on contaminated sites under its responsibility.
In June the City was issued with a new 20-year license for the Walliston Transfer Station.
Affected sites have been reported to DWER and it looks likely none will require a contaminated classification.
Garage Sale Trail The Garage Sale Trail takes place each year and is Australia’s biggest community and sustainability event. The City is an event signatory and hosted its own Garage Sale Trail at Walliston Transfer Station during October.
