The City is developing the next stage of improvements at the Recycling Centre Balcatta.
The need to redevelop the Recycling Centre Balcatta (RCB) has been discussed by the City for many years. During this time, a number of significant issues have advanced to the point where many parts of the existing facility are now beyond the end of their useful life and have deteriorated to the point where the facility can only just operate efficiently and safely.
Council has approved the next stage of improvements at the City of Stirling’s waste management facility, the Recycling Centre Balcatta. One of the City's main objectives is new infrastructure that allows for the recycling of waste so that it doesn't have to be sent to landfill. In consideration of market conditions and new opportunities for sustainable asset renewal the City, in collaboration with Talis Consultants, is developing a long-term masterplan to guide the renewal of the RCB site. The renewal endeavours to eliminate all existing issues and adequately manage waste and resources including future industry innovations, changes and improvements.
The next stage involves design and preparation works for the replacement of the ageing Waste Transfer Station at 238 Balcatta Road with a view to construction in mid-2024.
The proposed renewal will include 3 key service areas:
- Free community drop off.
This is where the community can drop off materials, for recycling or reuse, at no charge.
- Paid and pass community drop off.
This is where the community can use their tip passes or pay for disposal of waste.
- Waste Transfer Station.
This is the commercial and bulk waste area of the recycling centre.
