Garden Waste
Tree loppings, garden prunings and lawn clippings can be brought to the City of Wanneroo’s Green Waste Recycling Facility, located at 70 Motivation Drive in Wangara.
Please note operational hours:
ONLY OPEN WEEKENDS & PUBLIC HOLIDAYS (except Christmas Day, New Years Day and Good Friday)
The material is shredded and recycled into mulch, which is then available for sale by the trailer load. The mulch is also used on Council parks and reserves.
Garden Mulch
The City has a mountain of mulch for sale at the facility at a cost of $15 for a 6x4 trailer (approximately 1m3). Bring your trailer and take a load of mulch home for your garden this weekend.
Mulch can be applied as a drop dressing in the garden to reduce water loss through evaporation, suppress weeds, increase aesthetic value and prevent soil erosion. Mulch also insulates plant roots from extreme temperatures and adds organic matter to the soil, which acts like a sponge to hold water. We can all help to reduce water consumption by mulching our gardens.
Access to the site is free with a 'greens voucher', four of which are included with the annual Rates notice. Each voucher allows the disposal of a standard 6x4 trailer-load of greens at no charge.
Without a voucher, an entry fee will apply.
