K'gari (Fraser Island) Waste Management Strategy

The Happy Valley 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 February, May, August, and November each year. The first collection period will begin in August 2023. Outside of the schedule collection times Happy Valley 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 Happy Valley 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" in the Document Library for a full list of accepted and not accepted wastes.

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