Pop Up Recycling & Refuse facility

This year we are again supporting the Pop-up recycling and refuse facility for boaties at the end of Russell Wharf. It will be there for 3 weeks starting Thursday 26 December and finishing on Sunday 19 January 2025.

Hours of operation

Daily from 0800 – 11.00 and 2.00 – 5.00 pm

Refuse ambassadors will be on hand during those hours to assist with the recycling. Payment for refuse bags can be made at the Russell Information Centre on the wharf. They will give you a ticket once paid, just bring this to the Ambassador as proof of payment.

First customers on Boxing Day
