Grease Trap Cleaning
 

A grease trap cleaning service is provided once weekly to commercial premises.  Service charges vary dependant upon the size and type of grease arrestor fitted.

Waste Minimisation

At present the Shire does not operate waste minimisation and recycling strategies. The development of effective strategies will require community participation and cooperation and island residents are encouraged to start considering how they may individually contribute towards waste reduction within their own households.
