The Perisher Range Resorts (PRR) Master Plan (2001) addressed aspects of waste management. A part of the approval process for the Waste Transfer Station (WTS) was a commitment that the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) would establish and maintain a formal collection service for waste and recyclables from premises within Perisher Valley and Smiggin Holes.
The collection service commenced winter 2011. Since then most buildings have constructed waste storage facilities, only a few are still to finalise their storage.
This waste receptacle guideline applies to all premises within Perisher Valley and Smiggin Holes. Although operating under a different waste management system, the guidance offered in this document can also be applied to premises within Guthega Village.
