Please check Landfill Waste Classification and Waste Definitions 1996 for Class I, II and III to confirm the types of waste which you can take to the facility. You may need to complete a permit request form to dispose of some waste types - see information on contaminated and special disposal requirements below.
All Commercial vehicles entering the 7 Mile Waste Facility must weigh in and out using the weighbridge and follow all directions of landfill staff.
Purchase orders are required if waste disposal charges are to be levied against anyone other than the carrier, and drivers are to present a hard copy of the purchase order to the Weighbridge Operator before moving on to the weighbridge.

Applying for a special disposal requirement permit

- Contact industrialwaste@karratha.wa.gov.au for an electronic copy of the permit request form, and return the completed form, with any supporting documentation to the same address.
- Once approved, your permit will be emailed to you. The waste can then be delivered to the 7 Mile Waste Facility, according to the permit conditions and delivery date.
Please note the transport driver must present a copy of the Waste Disposal Permit and purchase order (if applicable) to the 7 Mile Waste Facility Operator before moving on to the weighbridge for every delivery.
