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
