The following guidelines will assist you to correctly dispose of your commercial asbestos waste at the Millar Road Landfill Facility.  

• Ensure the asbestos is separated from other material for disposal.
• Double wrap the asbestos in heavy duty plastic (available from most hardware stores) and seal it with adhesive tape to prevent asbestos fibres from being released.
• Approved vehicles are allowed on the tip face for direct disposal. All other asbestos must be hand unloaded.
• No tipping of asbestos is allowed except from a hook truck and with prior approval.
• Label the asbestos the words "CAUTION ASBESTOS" in letters not less than 50mm high.

All disposals must be booked 24 hours prior to delivery (or as soon as practicable) with the landfill by following the waste booking process.  All disposals must be delivered to the Millar Road Landfill Facility before 3pm each day.

Wrapped asbestos is charged at a per tonne rate, minimum 0.5 tonne (with Landfill Levy exemption) and does not require a contaminated waste application form.

The DWER requires that anyone disposing of soil and/or sand contaminated with asbestos obtain a Waste Acceptance Approval Certificate prior to its disposal at site. A Waste Acceptance Approval (WAA) Certificate can be obtained through Rock Port.

A number of safety measures should be taken to prevent asbestos fibres escaping during removal and transport. These can be discussed with the Landfill as part of the process of obtaining your WAA Certificate.

24 hours’ notice must be given to the facility prior to disposal of asbestos.  Please call 9528 0333 (Monday to Friday 8am – 4.30pm) to book or book online by following the waste booking service.

Millar Road Landfill Facility is licensed by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) to accept up to Class III waste, which includes PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances). Its disposal is managed in line with strict DWER licensing and regulatory requirements.

DWER is the regulatorof the Millar Road Landfill Facility and is responsible for the oversight, inspection and review of the licencing conditions applied to the facility. As part of our DWER licensing and regulatory requirements, the City performs six-monthly groundwater and leachate testing at the Millar Road Landfill Facility and submits all information to DWER. DWER also conducts random audits of the site.

While low levels of PFAS have been detected on the western edge of the landfill (down gradient), DWER has advised that there is nothing to suggest concerns for public health. The City has been asked to undertake further monitoring and has engaged the services of an accredited contaminated sites auditor to oversee additional groundwater investigations undertaken by qualified consultants. 

The publication “Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the Perth metropolitan area” published by DWER in November 2022 provides information about PFAS water sampling in the Perth metropolitan area. 

Bore owners can consult the HealthyWA website for more information about domestic bore water use.
