The tip at Vasse
The Busselton Waste Transfer and Recycling Centre at 39 Rendezvous Road, Vasse opens 7.30am to 3.30pm every day and closes at noon on the last Tuesday of the month. Since 1 July 2026, you show proof of being a resident or ratepayer, and limits apply to white goods, mattresses and couches. A commercial contractor clearing a household cannot use your tip pass, and commercial waste goes only to the Dunsborough Waste Facility (City of Busselton). The reuse shop on the same site sells second-hand furniture, tools and kitchenware, useful when the new place is short a table (City of Busselton).
Verges and loading zones
Parking a truck on a verge needs the permission of the resident next to it, and a loading zone is only for a commercial vehicle loading goods (City of Busselton). Busselton is about 220km south-west of Perth (Transregional), so a move down from Perth covers a fair distance. See moves at short notice.
