The Goolwa Waste and Recycling Depot has entered a new era and set the benchmark for environmentally efficient waste disposal and recycling services. An official opening took place on Tuesday, 11 September 2018, where key stakeholders celebrated what has been a major revamp of the facility.

Providing services to the local community for over 35 years, recent upgrades to the site will ensure it continues to support the region well into the future.

Now a high quality, modern waste and recycling plant; customer access has been greatly simplified, making each visit a straightforward process. An increased variety of diversion options means that recycling is not only easier, but more cost effective – in some cases, resulting in money in the customer’s pocket as an incentive for showing sensible recycling initiative.

Meeting their strong commitment to meet their communities waste and recycling needs locally, Alexandrina Council and the City of Victor Harbor undertake these functions on a regional basis through their membership of Fleurieu Regional Waste Authority (FRWA), who manage Goolwa Waste and Recycling Depot site operations and local bin collection.

The Alexandrina Council-owned site hosts several tenants including FRWA, Goolwa Salvage & Save, and South Coast Recycling. Running costs of the facility are shared with the City of Victor Harbor.
