WASTE MANAGEMENT
|
FICA manages a general purpose, open-trench tip which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The tip is monitored by the Environmental Protection Authority and must adhere to the EPA’s rules and regulations.
This is the association’s greatest expense and one of many reasons why all French Island residents and landholders should be members of FICA.
All tip users should keep to the guidelines listed below and observe the signs.

GUIDELINES FOR TIP USE
|
The tip accepts general household waste only. It does NOT take old cars, oil, chemicals and other hazardous waste, garden mulch or tree prunings.
All waste must go into the appropriate trench.
No waste should be left near the trenches, on the roads or on any of the surrounding area.
Recyclables must go in the appropriate bins. Do not 'bag' your recyclables in plastic bags. Plastic bags are not recyclable.
Recyclables include:
-
Plastics - containers with codes 1 to 7 on the underside which include milk, cream, soft drink, and
detergent containers; clean chemical containers and spray bottles.
-
Glass bottles including jars and sauce bottles.
-
Aluminium including cans, foil pie dishes etc.
-
Metal - all steel food cans eg soup, pet food, baby food and any empty aerosol cans.
Anyone leaving the island with an empty vehicle can pick up a load of recycling and deliver it to the mainland
recycling station at Grantville which is open from 8.30am to 4.30pm daily.
