Project Summary
The Myrup Waste Management Facility (Myrup WMF) is a major regional infrastructure project and long‑term investment designed to serve the Esperance community and surrounding region for the next 30 years and beyond. It will provide a modern, efficient and environmentally responsible waste management solution, delivered in multiple stages subject to funding, approvals and procurement. Full operations are anticipated in 2027–2028, following completion of key components including the Waste Transfer Station, Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) and FOGO processing area.The Shire Project Team continues to collaborate closely with OGTEC on the MRF equipment package, which will support improved recycling capacity and greater waste‑diversion outcomes for the region.
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.
Scrap metal and green waste collection bays will be available for trailers to dispose of these materials. There will be numerous drop-off bays and guidelines will be provided.
