Waste Reform Information
Commencing 4 January 2025, the Shire is rolling out Phase 1 of its Waste Reform program which involves the implementation of a new waste facility pass system.
As part of this phase, all Shire of Gingin ratepayers/residents will have now received their new reusable plastic waste facility pass which can be used at the Shire's three waste facility sites (Gingin, Seabird and Lancelin), however there are changes as to how we will be managing waste at these sites going forward.
More information on these changes and how they will affect you are provided in the tabs below.
If you have any queries, please contact our Environmental Health team on (08) 9575 5100 or mail@gingin.wa.gov.au.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the number on my new waste facility pass the same as my property assessment number?
No - the number on your new waste facility pass will not match your property assessment number, even though they may both start with an 'A'. For example, if your property assessment number is A9265, your waste facility pass may display something like A0576 – this number is a system generated number that is put onto the cards as a back up should the barcode not work.
But rest assured! The number on your pass is fully linked to your property assessment, so everything is properly connected behind the scenes.
