Mid-Western Regional Council

Mid-Western Regional Council operates kerbside domestic waste and recycling collection services within the towns of Mudgee, Gulgong, Kandos and Rylstone and the villages of Charbon and Clandulla. Domestic waste collected is transported to waste facilities at Mudgee or Kandos for landfilling. Recyclable waste collected is transported to the Mudgee W... aste Facility for sorting and processing. The rural area and remaining villages are serviced with access to Waste Transfer Stations. For information on when your general waste and recycling will be collected, please click here. The existing landfill cell at the Mudgee Waste Depot will reach capacity within 10 years. Council has engaged a specialist consultant to prepare a Landfill Environmental Management Plan, incorporating a staged landfilling plan and staged landfill closure plan for operation of the facility for the next 50-60 years. Detailed costings of various landfill stages will enable a comprehensive financial plan to be developed. Council operates three urban (Mudgee, Gulgong and Kandos), and thirteen village and rural waste transfer stations. Accumulated domestic waste and recycling materials are transported to the Mudgee Waste Facility for landfilling or sorting and processing. Council oversees Mudgee Recycling as part of its overall waste management operations. Council places a lot of emphasis on recycling and ensuring that the amount of material entering landfill is kept to a minimum. An important aspect of the recycling operation is the continued meaningful employment of members of the region's disabled community. The Council's aim and focus is to: Minimise the amount of waste that goes to landfill. Encourage the maximisation of community involvement into recycling by providing accessible recycling services and facilities. Maintain the transfer stations around the Region for the community to maximise opportunity for recycling.Read More
