Safety Measures 

To keep everyone safe and make your visits smoother, we’re introducing some new safety steps for commercial users at the Meru Waste Disposal Facility. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Stay Connected

When you arrive:

  • Come equipped with a 2-way radio (channel 16)
  • Let us know which area you’re heading to - commercial stockpiles/Cells (follow the 2-way sign prompts)
  • Tell us which bay you’ll be using when entering Cells (follow the 2-way sign prompts)

2. Dress for Safety

If you need to get out of your vehicle at the Tipping Face (Cells 1-5) or the Commercial Stockpile, please wear:

  • A hi-vis vest
  • Enclosed shoes
  • bump caps

If you don’t have the required gear and are in a light vehicle, we’ll guide you to the Meru Resource Recovery Station for waste disposal.

FAQs 

Why site entry requirements are necessary?

The City has a duty of care for all people entering its site under the WHS Act (2020). These measures are necessary due to the potential interaction between operational vehicles and commercial users at these locations (tipping face and commercial stockpiles). The City recommends all commercial users to be alert and follow directions.  

What are the site entry requirements?

Call up on UHF Channel 16 when entering Cell and Commercial Stockpiles to make your presence known.

Hi-vis vest, enclosed shoes and bump caps are the PPE requirements.

What if I do not have a 2-way radio or PPE?

You will either be asked to leave site, be redirected to the Resource Recovery Station (if your vehicle can be accommodated) or be escorted to your tipping location. Please be aware that escorting services is applicable only if PPE requirements are met, may take up to 20 minutes and may not always be available.

Which UHF Channel do I use?

UHF Channel 16

When do I call upon the 2-way?

UHF Call Up Channel 16 signs have been placed on site that cue you to call in your location as you drive to the commercial stockpiles or to Cells. Tipping bay numbers have been placed in Cells. Ensure you call up which bay you will be using before you enter. Listen out for any response from operational vehicles in the area.
