Dispose of your recyclables for free
If your car, ute or trailer only contains the following it will be free (up to 1.3 cubic metres):
Whitegoods, eg fridges, freezers and washing machines
Scrap metal including small amounts of wire, rinsed steel and aluminium cans
Car batteries
Cardboard/packing boxes (must be flattened and clean)
Glass bottles
Small household appliances (e.g. kettles, toasters, hairdryers, stereos - maximum 4)
Computers and televisions (Maximum 4 screens)
Important notes
Loads that contain any other materials will be charged at the standard rate.
Green waste and brick rubble are not free items and will be charged.
Residential loads only - commercial loads will not be accepted.
Metal drums must have the entire lid removed (remove top of drum).
The Armadale Landfill and Recycling Facility is no longer a Drum Muster location.
Commercial loads must be weighed in by 4pm sharp.
Why are only some recyclables accepted for free? The City can cover the cost of handling items such as steel and aluminium by reselling them. Items such as green waste and rubble are costly to process and have little or no resale value and therefore cannot be accepted for free.
Sort 'n' Save
A sorted load is one that has been separated into waste types. For example, it is important that green waste is separate from general rubbish that is going to landfill so it can be mulched. Other items such as scrap metal, whitegoods, brick rubble and sand/soil can be recycled and need to be separated.
Sorting rubbish at the landfill saves you money and prolongs the life of the landfill. Loads containing items that can be recycled but have not been sorted will be charged at the unsorted rate.
How to sort a load
When preparing your load you must separate all your items of waste into the following categories:
Cardboard
Glass bottles
Aluminium cans
Scrap metal
Plastics
Vehicle batteries
Green waste
Clean sand, soil or clay
Brick rubble
Concrete
Reinforced concrete
Old furniture
Whitegoods
E-Waste
Household Hazardous Waste
Tyres
Fees and tip passes
Volume limits apply for the use of tip passes.
Each pass is valid for up to 1.3 cubic metres of sorted waste.
One pass can be used for up to 4 cubic metres of green waste where written on pass.
Only for use for sorted loads in cars or utilities with/without trailers (trucks cannot enter the sorting area).
Maximum of two tip passes per entry for sorted waste.
No tip passes can be used for sorted loads over 2.6 cubic metres - these must be weighed.
