Our waste and recycling provider, Cleanaway, has recently completed an exciting upgrade at their Picton Transfer Station, which is where collected recyclables from City of Bunbury, City of Busselton, and the Shires of Augusta-Margaret River, Harvey, Capel, Collie, Donnybrook-Balingup, Bridgetown-Greenbushes, Nannup, and Manjimup are tipped and processed.
17,000 tonnes of comingled recycling is processed through this facility each year.
With the compaction upgrades completed in September 2025, the site has significantly improved its sustainability and efficiencies.
Payloads doubled (up ~100%)
Transport reduced by 50% between Picton and our South Guildford Materials Recovery Facility (MRF)
Significant carbon footprint reduction of 104 tCO2e/yr
Improved road safety with fewer heavy vehicles on Forrest Highway
Long-term cost savings for local communities
This upgrade means fewer truck trips, lower emissions, and more efficient recycling for our region.
