Green Waste Processing Facility

Please be advised that due to the license conditions imposed by the Department of Environment and Conservation the SMRC is no longer able to accept green waste as of Monday 2 April 2012 until further notice.

The Green Waste Processing Facility creates mulch from the clean green waste gathered by council verge collections. Green Waste is also accepted from residents and commercial operators who bring it to the RRRC on trailers.
