Our Waste Data

City of Belmont waste data

The City of Belmont is committed to helping create a more sustainable future and encourages all residents, businesses and visitors to reduce, reuse, recycle and recover to minimise waste.
 
The City’s waste collection processes include bulk bins, disposal days and regular kerbside bin collections. This waste is then recycled, recovered or diverted to landfill. In the tables below, you can find the latest figures on how the City’s waste is being managed. This data is updated every three months.
