Recycling and waste disposal

Waste Collection
Kosciuszko Thredbo is responsible for the collection of garbage from enclosures outside each property. There is a collection roster system, with each property serviced between 2 and 7 times per week, depending upon the size and use of the premises. Generally, all apartments and smaller club lodges are cleared twice a week and larger premises with commercial kitchens five or seven days a week. The collection schedule for each lodge is available by clicking on the download below. All garbage is to be placed inside the enclosures to minimise the risk of both native and feral animals getting into the rubbish spreading disease. Waste should be placed inside plastic bags and tied up, and it should weigh less than 10kg per bag. Loose garbage in the enclosures will not be collected. All cardboard should be flattened and tied in manageable sized bundles or stacked in another box. It is the responsibility of the owner or manager to ensure that their enclosure is well managed and in a clean condition at all times. If a guest is unsure of the location of their garbage enclosure, they should contact their booking agent or accommodation manager.

Recycling
Thredbo operates a kerbside recycling system. White polyweave bags are provided for the collection of aluminium cans, glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles (all types), steel cans and liquid paperboard (eg milk cartons). Please do not dispose of crockery, drinking glasses, light globes, pyrex, broken window glass, paper, cardboard, polystyrene, plastic bags or general waste in recycle bags.
It is important to ensure that all recyclables are empty and clean before being placed in bags. Full bags should be placed inside your garbage enclosure and will be collected by the Environmental Services crew, generally on the day following the scheduled waste collection. The material is transported to a commercial recycler and processed to market. Replacement recycle bags are provided at the same rate as the full ones are taken away. Additional bags are available for collection from the Valley Terminal reception or can be delivered to individual enclosures by giving the Environmental Services Department at least 24 hours notice. Please do not leave full recycle bags outside enclosures.
Waste cooking oil is to be disposed of in the tin in which it was supplied; it should be sealed and left in the garbage enclosure. These will be collected on a regular basis. The oil is recycled into animal feed and soap; so do not dispose of any foreign objects in the oil.

Other waste
Residents and guests of Thredbo should be aware that the disposal of 'hard waste' (eg, broken beds, mattresses, old heaters, old skis etc) is the responsibility of the individual owner of the property. All hard waste should be removed from the Kosciuszko National Park by the owner and disposed of at the Jindabyne landfill, where commercial disposal rates are applicable.
