Each HRRC has a designated 20 cubic yard or 40 cubic yard container for residents and small traders to segregate and dispose of their Rubble, Hardcore and Soil material, with a number of sites covering the container to control potential contamination entering the waste stream. When these designated containers are full, five of the HRRCs contact the WLWA procured Roll On - Roll Off (RoRo) haulage contractor to collect the full container, and replace with an empty container. The full container will then be delivered to the Contractors Processing Facility for treatment and onward disposal.
