MidWaste member councils provide services to their community to ensure resources are recovered as a priority. Items that cannot be recovered or recycled are buried in landfills.

Waste Management Centres generally include resource recovery facilities such as Community Recycling Centres (CRCs), material stockpiles like scrap metal and greenwaste (these are regularly processed and recycled), and landfills.

Transfer stations are smaller facilities where the community can drop off a range of items. These are transferred to the larger facility for recycling or disposal.
