Waste Disposal Locations

These businesses and organisations accept types of DOMESTIC wastes. Specific details of waste material and whether household or non-household waste is accepted should be checked with the business listed.

We have identified micro factory solutions that will stop all 7 plastics being sent south and have an economical solution for contaminated waste that will be launching in late 2024. 


If you have an Agricultural or Industry commercial waste issue please contact us so we can put you on our list to contact when we have launched.

DOMESTIC WASTE SOLUTION

Send As Much Data As Possible To This App

Data driven solutions for domestic waste.


If you have any feedback on this app please let us know.

We are not affiliated with it and have not had any luck with the Cairns Regional Council MRF team engaging us in any capacity so we are recommending this app purely for the love of data.  Not that we think that the government is the answer.


From what we have heard about DESI and their team being made up of government people from other government departments we do believe it might be new economy but same old same old.


We do believe that there are good people in government but it takes a bit to move that ship and we have 6 years to make an impact on the lives of people that will live through the next 1000 years


So we are running with Australian Innovation for commercial waste issues.  Reach out if you have commercial plastic or tyre waste as we can take that in volumes.
