Please don't leave rubbish in or near town bins in Broken Hill or Silverton — thousands of Bashers rolling through will quickly overload the local rubbish service. Here's how to handle your waste responsibly.
You can take rubbish to the Broken Hill Waste Facility during normal opening hours — a fee applies. Check the City Council website for current hours and fees.
Take all extra rubbish home with you and dispose of it there. Please don't dump extra bags anywhere in or around Broken Hill or Silverton.
Every vehicle gets one rubbish sticker for a single landfill bag (up to 80L). Drop it at any of the campground Rubbish Drop-Off Zones. Extra stickers available from the Merch Tent for $10 each (until 5pm, 23 August).
The Broken Hill Visitor Information Centre (BHVIC) at 23–27 Bromide Street is a great first stop when you arrive in the Silver City. The friendly staff will help you build the perfect itinerary so you don't miss out on any local attractions and experiences.
