The WMRC is a statutory local government authority established on July 18, 1989 by five western suburbs local government’s to undertake waste management functions. Participant Local Government’s are the Towns of Claremont, Cottesloe, Mosman Park, Shire of Peppermint Grove and the City of Subiaco. More information on the participant local governments can be found under Who We Are.
Like all local governments the WMRC is administered by a “Council” of members, one member from each of the participating local governments. The Regional Council meets regularly to administer the functions and duties of the organisation.
As mentioned above the purpose of the Regional Council is to undertake waste management functions. The principal activity is the operation of the Brockway Waste Transfer Station situated on the corner of Brockway Road and Lemnos Street, Shenton Park. Here municipal solid waste (MSW) from member councils and others is received and aggregated into larger loads for transport in sealed containers to landfill sites located on the outer fringes of the Perth metropolitan area.
In addition to this the Regional Council operates a greenwaste recycling operation where readily separateable greenwaste is diverted from the waste stream, ground up into mulch and sold to the horticultural industry.
More detail on the various disposal services and recycling initiatives of the WMRC can be found under What We Do.
