General Waste

Capital City Waste Services provides a collection service for general domestic and office refuse and other waste which cannot be recycled.  We can also meet the larger general waste disposal requirements of councils and businesses.Suitable General Waste Refuse Bins are provided and we can organize them to be collected on a schedule convenient to the customer.

Our Rear and Front Lift vehicles are used to retrieve the waste and replace the bins with no inconvenience to the customer. Our Collection Centre receives the waste and it is scanned for anypotentialyl recoverable material.  It is then suitably treated and converted to bio energy.

Most forms of disposable items can be classified as General Waste, apart from those things which can be recycled.  However there are some things which should never be placed in General Waste bins.  These include

  • Batteries and tyres
  • Hazardous materials including medical waste, syringes and needles
  • Hot or burning materials
  • Building and construction waste, paint and paint tins
  • Liquid Waste
  • Asbestos
  • Chemicals
  • Oil, drums and containers

All of these items require special treatment and handling and Capital City Waste Services should be consulted prior to disposal of any of the foregoing items.  These items can potentially impact public health and Workplace Health and Safety.

If you have a problem disposing of waste materials such as these you can contact Capital City Waste Services and we will be happy to resolve any disposal problems you might have, at the same time ensuring environmental safety and maximizing recycling.
