The Launceston Waste Centre (LWC) houses a recycling shed, transfer station and green waste collection area available to the public to dispose of various materials, as well as landfill and organics processing facility to accommodate municipal waste collections.

The resale shop 'Uptipity', also located at LWC, is available to the public to purchase items recovered from the waste stream.

Domestic quantities of permitted recyclable items can be disposed of free of charge at the facility's Recycling Centre. All other waste disposed of at the Transfer Station will incur a fee.
