Reduce, re-use and recycle with Noosa Council - Free mulch

In keeping with Noosa Council's values of "waste not, want not,"  and the "reduce, re-use and recycle" ethos, 3 cubic metres of single grind garden mulch is available to Noosa Shire residents, free of charge, at the Eumundi Road landfill site.

If residents bring a trailer Council will load it for them. Mulch is also available at the Cooroy and Pomona landfill sites but Council does not have a loading service at these sites.

To make it more attractive to dispose of unwanted items where they are most likely to be recycled effectively, the following  items are accepted free of charge at Noosa Council's waste facilities at Noosaville, Cooroy and Pomona:

• All white goods such as degassed refrigerators, stoves, dryers
• Ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as car bodies, metal objects, gas bottles etc
• Clean paper and cardboard
• Co- mingled recyclables eg: ( items that are accepted into the yellow top recycling bin)
• Paints, pesticides, solvents, and waste oil up to 20 litres (commercial volumes not accepted)
• Car batteries

Council urges residents to recycle as much as possible and suggests that items that are still useful and functioning may be left, without a fee charged, at Briteside Industries at the Eumundi Rd Waste Facility. Briteside Industries are a non-profit organisation that sells recycled goods and also restores items of furniture for resale. Alternatively, such items can left at, or collected by, charitable organisations. Reduce, re-use and recycle with Noosa Council.
