Bulk Waste Trailer - Free Service
The Shire of Pingelly is stepping into the future of waste management by acquiring a new hydraulic bulk waste trailer. This comes as a replacement for the traditional skip bins that have been made obsolete with the introduction of the Work Health and Safety Act.
Starting from Monday and running through to the next Monday, the bulk waste trailer will be made available for use by the community. The Shire's dedicated crew will handle the drop-off and collection process, ensuring a smooth and convenient experience for all users. This schedule provides flexibility and accessibility, accommodating the various community needs.
For those who wish to make use of this free service, please contact the Shire office to be added to the roster. This can be done by phoning the Shire on (08) 9887 1066 or coming into the Shire Office at 17 Queen Street, Pingelly.
