Waste compactors can be accessed via retailer swipe cards, available from the Customer Service Desk. All card users must be trained by the Centre Management operations team in how to use the compactors. Replacement cards can be organised from the Customer Service Desk at a cost of $25.00 + GST.

For everyone’s safety and to comply with environmental regulations, please don’t place chemicals, explosives, poisons, medical or clinical waste, liquid waste, or used cooking oil in our general waste or recycling bins. If you need to dispose of any of these items, simply let us know and we’ll be happy to advise the appropriate collection and disposal.

Note that building waste and materials must not be deposited in the compactors. All contractors must remove all building rubbish from the site. Please contact the Customer Service Desk to discuss appropriate waste management methods.

Waste & Recycling Procedures

Recycling is a key part of our waste management program. For your safety and to maintain efficiency, it is essential to strictly follow the waste disposal directions displayed on bins and equipment.

  • All equipment is clearly signposted and colour-coded to guide correct disposal.
  • Each loading dock provides options for both general waste and cardboard recycling.
  • The Cardboard/Paper compactor is for cardboard and paper only. Waxed cardboard must not be placed here and should go into the General Waste compactor instead.
  • Compactors can be accessed via retailer swipe cards from the Customer Service Desk.
  • Co-mingled recycling bins (yellow bins) are for plastic or glass bottles and aluminium cans. Please separate your waste accordingly at the loading docks.
  • A receptacle for cooking oil disposal is also located in the loading docks. Please contact the Maintenance Team for details on how to utilise this service.


Waste Management

Grease traps merely remove grease from the water. Incorrect disposal of grease, oil and fat down sinks and drains may cause blockages and offensive odours as well as being illegal.

The following precautions are advised to ensure correct disposal of grease, oil and fat:

  • Remove food scraps off plates into appropriate bins before washing them.
  • Collect fats and cooking oils and dispose of these correctly at the recycling point provided for oil in loading docks.
  • Do not pour cooking oils down any drains, sinks or floor wastes.
  • Ensure sinks and floor wastes have grates.
  • Do not dispose of any solid waste i.e. disposable gloves, food scraps through floor waste points.
