Looks like it's gone. Covid's going to hinder any quick replacement so time to go.
This cache might have been recycled, because it’s clearly not there! I hope a photo is enough proof.
Arrived at 7.25am on Saturday morning and there were cars lined up waiting for the transfer station to open. Had a look around the GZ but couldn't spot the cache.
Went at the complete wrong time of day it was so busy around here so didnt get a real chance to look around. All i can say is go when the centre is closed
But weird trying to find it her as lots of stealth was required, we didn’t sign the log as too many people were around, tftc!!
Wasn't able to sign this one as there were too many people around! Enjoy this photo instead. TFTC
Another morning out enjoying the beautiful Autumn days we are currently experiencing, a nice quick find here today with coordinates being spot on TFTC
Out with geohubby dumping an old fridge. Super busy here on a Sat but we managed to grab this one undetected.
Old Lady closing gate came over and asked what I was doing, tried telling her Pokemon hunting. I don’t think she bought it. SLTFTH
Made a quick find while the recycling centre was closed. Did our best to avoid muggle detection. TFTC #605
Found on my way home from work once the recycling center was closed for the day. After a brief look at the structure, I noticed that the container was on the ground - its trademark tape was very distinctive... It was empty though so I used a page of my notebook as a log but I didn't have a plastic bag to protect it. I replaced the container roughly where I thought it was supposed to go. Thank you for the cache SpatialRiq, you may need to have a look at this one.
Thank you! I headed out for a bit of caching this morning, and found myself at this one. It didn't take too long to spot the cache.
Good one. Did not have high hopes due to the long time since last find but it is there and in good condition. TFTC
Quick visit to the tip and found this little one on the way out The Hunts
Out caching for the day with Lazarus and dezzabills, Nice quick find as we headed out of the area up into the hills. It was a quick find as dezzabills had found the cache before and pointed us in the right direction,
Hi there SpatialRiq.
We found your cache **"Recycle" **at 11:27:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 14657.
We usually start the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then take a route that is mostly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the area & ended up finding quite a variety of container types, and of various sizes hidden along our route.
We found 6 caches today & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

7 year old found it : )
Took the advice about not looking while the centre is open TFTC

The centre was open when I visited - but that was the whole point of me being here, lol, although the cache came a close second A handy diversion from the mundane chores today, although a tricky one to scout & retrieve with the amount of muggles in the area. A fake phone call helped and after pacing around a few times I had spied the cache After a moment of perfect timing it was in my hand and I was soon on my way again. Thanks for brightening up my visit here today - and another smiley on the map TFTC
We love the recycling centre so was delighted to find a cache here! After some treasure hunting at the tip we did some geocache treasure hunting, easy and fun find for the geo-kid.
Lots of happy customers in and out of the recycling depot. I was there last week and was offered a coffin. TFTC
A quick park and grab. Tftc

I found myself NOR so made some time to grab a cache or six... I stopped past here for a relatively quick find. Had to time it well to dodge the glances of the traffic. TFTC SpatialRiq.
Quick find here once Mr. and Mrs. O. had swapped ends...for once Mr.O. found it where Mrs. O. had already looked...TFTC!
Quick grab after dropping off a load of cardboard for recycling. Thanks.
I went out for a few hours of caching with Skippy 46.
This was a very busy place on a saturday morning. We even had people show us there bargins they had bought from the recycle place lol...I ended up parking a couple of metres from GZ and then the cache was found quickly TFTC spatialRiq

Found after a comical event to get to it but then it was a quick find.
Didn't know about this type of place, definitely going to make a return trip just to explore the recycle place.

Car park was full but managed to find and replace without being spotted. TFTC SpatialRiq!
Found this one with Chwiliwr and his Better Half whilst out chasing points for dragonZone. Very successful day all 'round. Thanks for the cache SpatialRiq
Yeay this will be my 700th cache, well worth a fave!
and what fun I had here, chasing the 3 R's: Recycled a dead car battery, found a cache called Recycle, and for the huge sum of $2, from the Recycle depot bought 2 coffee mugs and an assortment of goodies to become future caches!
Thanks for my 700th SpatialRiq (and finding my 697th earlier!)

Had an eye on this one for a while.
Finally decided to have a go - and bingo! Quite an easy find.

While in the area at P&M Mini Train I thought I would give this one ago, and it was a very good time indeed as I am very familiar with the place and it is very busy during opening times. Thanks for this little cheeky one SpatialRig
In the Balcatta area today with a few minutes to spare and checked for nearby caches.
The recycling centre was closed so I had a muggle free find.

Love this place... I frequent it quite regularly!

Thanks for an easy after hours cache.
We found this after a wedding nearby. The perfect finish to the night.

Very early in the gift of geocaching. Was the first we found together, but easy find!
