Bulky Waste

Bulky waste is processed at our ECOHIVE Complex in Naxxar, and at Tal-Kus Materials Recovery Facility and Waste Transfer Station in Gozo.

To dispose of bulky waste, commercial entities need to:

Use a company vehicle to transport the waste. The Vehicle needs to be registered with the Environment and Resources Authoirty (ERA) and WasteServ,

A fee of €20 per tonne (excluding VAT) applies for commingled waste and recyclables at only €0.50 per tonne.

Those contractors who are subcontracted by a Local Council to collect residential bulky refuse may deposit this waste at the Civic Amenity sites, as instructed by the respective Local Council.
