Free Waste Weekend tile

We’re offering all Glenorchy residents FREE ENTRY to the Jackson Street Waste Management Centre on Saturday 28, Sunday 29 and Monday 30 November.

To verify you are a Glenorchy resident and gain free entry, just show your driver’s licence to the tollbooth operator. Only domestic quantities of waste will be accepted, such as a standard ute load or box trailer. Free entry does not apply to waste such as tyres, paints, chemicals, mattresses, asbestos, other hazardous waste, or commercial waste.

You can also drop off recyclables at the Recycling Centre just before the Tollbooth entrance (on the left), and unwanted but good condition items in working order at the Recovery Shop (on the right). Check first what items are accepted on our waste map:
