K'gari (Fraser Island) Waste Management Strategy

The Orchid Beach Waste Transfer Station will soon only accept bulky household waste and steel items during scheduled quarterly fortnightly periods.

The collections will occur during the first two weeks of January, April, July and October each year.

The first collection period will begin in January 2024.

Outside of the schedule collection times Orchid Beach residents are encouraged to take their bulk waste and/or steel to Eurong Waste Transfer Station or a mainland facility.

These periods have been set in consultation with the Orchid Beach Community Association and key stakeholders.

All other waste services remain the same, with free disposal of general household / domestic waste and clean green waste at all times.

Please refer to the Waste Disposal Information sheet attached for a full list of accepted and not accepted wastes. (Info sheet is attached both as a jpg so you can read here, and as a PDF in the Docuemnt Library so you can download for later.)

These changes are part of the implementation of the K’gari Waste Management and Resource Recovery Strategy adopted in July 2022.
