From 1 July 2025 the City of Freemantle will stop collecting waste from all commercial properties in the Central Business District and suburbs.
Commercial operators who currently use City of Fremantle commercial waste services will be required to arrange their own waste collection prior to this date.
The changes follow an extensive review of the cty’s waste services and with the support of council.
Director of Infrastructure Graham Tattersall said streamlining operations would enable the city to concentrate its resources on improving residential waste collection, public area amenity and street cleaning.
“That’ll mean more footpath scrubbing, street sweeping, pressure cleaning and emptying of public bins, because we know that having a presentable city is important to the whole community,” Tattersall said.
“Over the coming months, the city will assist commercial customers with transitioning to private waste providers, who can tailor the collection of each business’s waste, recycling and FOGO (Food Organics Garden Organics) to their unique needs.
Fremantle Council endorsed the discontinued services at a council meeting in 2024.
