About Recycling Centre Balcatta

Recycling Centre Balcatta is a waste transfer and community recycling facility operated by the City of Stirling in Stirling, Western Australia. The centre provides supervised drop‑off services for general household waste, green waste, construction and demolition material, scrap metal, cardboard, e‑waste, whitegoods, recyclables and selected household hazardous waste. It is used by local residents, commercial operators and trades, and many materials can be dropped off for a fee while some separated recyclables are accepted either free or at a reduced rate, subject to current council policies.

A charge from Recycling Centre Balcatta (often appearing as “CITY OF STIRLING BALCATTA”, “STIRLING WASTE/RECYCLING”, or similar) will typically relate to tip/disposal fees for a load of waste or recyclables you dropped off. Common scenarios include paying at the gate by card for a car, trailer or commercial vehicle load, green waste disposal, mixed waste, construction rubble, or special items like mattresses, tyres, fridges or TVs. You may see multiple charges if you made more than one visit the same day, if your load was weighed in and out, or if a transaction was adjusted (for example, separating recyclable vs non‑recyclable materials). There are no ongoing subscriptions, but you might see repeat charges if you visit regularly for business or renovation work.

If you’re unsure about a Recycling Centre Balcatta charge, start by checking your calendar or messages for the date of a recent tip run, renovation, moving house, garden clean‑up or commercial job. Look for any receipts or EFTPOS slips given to you at the weighbridge or gatehouse, and check email if you requested a tax invoice. For the most accurate information, visit stirling.wa.gov.au and search for “Recycling Centre Balcatta” to confirm opening hours, current fees and accepted materials, or to find the City of Stirling’s customer service contact details. You can then quote the date, approximate time, card used, and charge amount so the City can look up the transaction and explain or correct any billing issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why was I charged by Recycling Centre Balcatta on my card?

This charge usually relates to tip or disposal fees you paid when dropping off waste or recyclables at the Recycling Centre Balcatta. Fees are typically charged per vehicle or load and vary depending on whether you are a City of Stirling resident, non‑resident or commercial customer, and on the type and volume of material. Review any recent trips you made to the tip for a house move, clean‑up, garden work or building job on the same date as the charge.

What are the typical fees or amounts I might see from Recycling Centre Balcatta?

Amounts can range from relatively small fees for a car or small trailer of sorted recyclable or green waste, up to higher amounts for large mixed‑waste loads or commercial quantities. Pricing is generally based on vehicle type, load size or weight, and the material category (for example, green waste vs mixed general waste vs construction rubble). Because the City of Stirling updates fees periodically, you should check the current fee schedule on stirling.wa.gov.au or at the centre entrance to compare against your charge.

Why do I see more than one Recycling Centre Balcatta charge on the same day?

Multiple charges on the same day usually mean you made more than one visit, had separate loads billed individually, or a transaction was reprocessed or adjusted. In some cases, staff may process separate items (such as mattresses, tyres or whitegoods) in addition to a general waste fee, resulting in more than one line on your statement. Compare the total of all charges with the printed receipt you received at the gate or weighbridge.

Can Recycling Centre Balcatta place an authorization hold or pending amount on my account?

Most transactions at Recycling Centre Balcatta are standard EFTPOS or card payments for a known amount, but your bank may show them as ‘pending’ for a short time before they settle. Some banks briefly display a provisional or estimated amount until the final transaction is processed. If a pending amount looks incorrect, wait a few business days for it to finalise, then contact your bank or the City of Stirling if the posted amount still doesn’t match your receipt.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or tax invoice for a Recycling Centre Balcatta charge?

If you asked for an EFTPOS receipt or tax invoice at the time of payment, it would have been printed at the gatehouse or weighbridge. If you’ve lost it, contact the City of Stirling via the details on stirling.wa.gov.au and provide the date and time of your visit, the last four digits of the card used and the charge amount so they can try to locate the transaction. Keep in mind that detailed transaction lookup may be limited by privacy and record‑keeping policies, so request receipts as you pay whenever possible.

How do I dispute a charge or request a refund from Recycling Centre Balcatta?

If you believe you were overcharged—for example, your load type was recorded incorrectly—first compare the fee schedule on stirling.wa.gov.au with your receipt. If there’s still a concern, contact the City of Stirling’s customer service team (details on the website) and provide your receipt or transaction details, along with an explanation of the issue. The City can review the transaction and, where appropriate under council policies, may correct an error or arrange a refund or partial adjustment back to your card.

Does Recycling Centre Balcatta offer any discounts or different pricing for residents?

The Recycling Centre Balcatta is operated by the City of Stirling, and fees often differ for City residents, non‑residents and commercial customers. Residents may receive reduced rates or specific allowances for some waste types, subject to current council policy. To confirm whether you’re eligible and what proof of address is required, check the ‘Waste and Recycling’ section on stirling.wa.gov.au or the signage at the facility entrance.

How can I contact someone about a Recycling Centre Balcatta charge on my statement?

You can start by visiting stirling.wa.gov.au and searching for “Recycling Centre Balcatta” to find facility information and the City of Stirling’s main contact details. From there, you can phone or email customer service and request to speak with staff responsible for waste and recycling or tip fees.
