Waste Management
Because of our unique location in the middle of World Heritage listed rainforest and the reef, Wujal Wujal faces special challenges in our waste management policies.
As a remote town in Far North Queensland, we also face issues with efficient transport services connected to waste collection and disposal.
To serve the community and help protect our environment we administer:
- waste collection services
- laws on illegal dumping
Household rubbish collection day is Tuesday
Recycling/minimizing waste:
Council has a steel bin at the depot, so if community members have scrap metal or similar items, they’re more than welcome to bring them in and dispose of them there if needed.
Contact Council to:
- find out waste and recycling bin collection times
- order a new domestic or industrial waste bin
- report illegal dumping or dangerous waste
- find out how where to recycle domestic appliances, vehicles or larger items.
