Changes to bricks and concrete disposal as of 1 July 2024: Council has previously accepted brick and concrete waste at a lower price compared to mixed solid waste as it was able to be processed on site and recovered for reuse. Unfortunately, this process is no longer available to Council. As a result, stockpiles onsite are increasing and causing issues for Council regarding compliance with facility licence conditions (under our Environment Protection Licence the total stockpiled quantity of this material type are not to exceed 10,000 T). Due to this any bricks or concrete being disposed of now have to be disposed to landfill. The cost to do this is higher and it also attracts the waste levy fee Council is required to pay for all material disposed of to landfill. The decreased fee for bricks and concrete has been removed until an alternative process is available, and until that time the charges for this material will be for that of mixed solid waste that is taken to landfill. Council is currently working through how to manage the current stockpiles that are on site, and on an appropriate method for how to manage and process this waste moving forward. At the Ordinary Council Meeting held on 20 June 2024, Council adopted the Fees and Charges proposed for 24/25 FY, which included the removal of this fee. This has limited the time available to provide advance communication to the industry and customers for which we apologise. PMHC Brick and Concrete Fees(PDF, 56KB)
