Mulch & Crushed Glass

The Redis­cov­ery Cen­tre also sells the mulch and crushed glass that is pro­duced on-site. All fees and charges can be found here..

Mulch

Green­waste dis­posed of by res­i­dents at the trans­fer sta­tion is recy­cled into mulch which can be pur­chased at The Redis­cov­ery Centre.

Crushed Glass

All non-10c refund­able glass except sheet or film-cov­ered glass, dis­posed of at the Trans­fer Sta­tion is crushed in region­al Aus­tralia largest glass crush­er. The prod­uct is then used across town in con­crete mix and pavers, among oth­er things.

Please note: To ensure the mulch and crushed glass prod­ucts pro­duced are qual­i­ty prod­ucts we ask that cus­tomers ensure their green waste and glass is free of con­t­a­m­i­na­tion such as liq­uids, paper, soil and oth­er lit­ter. Staff and CCTV cam­eras are mon­i­tor­ing the Trans­fer Sta­tion and where con­t­a­m­i­na­tion is iden­ti­fied, the cus­tomer will be charged the rel­e­vant gen­er­al waste fees and charges.
