Project Summary
The Myrup Waste Management Facility (Myrup WMF) Project is a commitment for the next 30-plus years to give our ratepayers and community the best outcome.
With the fast-approaching closure of the Wylie Bay Landfill, the Myrup WMF will deliver a fully integrated facility with a range of modern recycling and waste management services to meet the needs of the Esperance community as well as the wider region.
After years of planning, assessment, and dedicated work to explore and evaluate the financial ramifications of alternative solutions and community preferences, this new centralised location will consist of the Truck Wash and Liquid Waste Facility, a new modern Community Drop-off, a new Waste Transfer Station, and a relocated Materials Recovery Facility.

The Waste Transfer Station will consolidate the mixed/putrescible waste material collected from the Shire’s kerbside collections and commercial operators, and compact it into custom built trailers to be road-trained to Coolgardie Landfill.
The Materials Recovery Facility will provide a modern, best-practice complex to continue diversion of recyclables from ending up in landfill. One integrated facility will manage the recycling collected from the Shire’s kerbside collections, commercial operations and the Community drop-off area. With upgraded, state of the art equipment, safety for staff and recycling efforts will be improved.
The Myrup Facility will include a dedicated Tip Shop, Admin offices, and an Education building to help divert materials from landfill as well as increase community awareness.
With proper disposal by shipping to Perth facilities, the Myrup WMF can accept more amounts and more types of hazardous waste, benefiting the community and reducing how much ends up in landfill.
