Waste on station is divided into three categories.

Paper, cardboard and wood is reused on station as much as possible.

In the photo on the left, old 44 gallon drums have been cleaned and are being used to store rubbish ready for return to Australia. Most of the waste products generated on station are sorted for returning to Australia for recycling or land fill.

A third category of waste is incinerated in high temperature, two stage incinerators on station.
