Asbestos
$12.00 per sheet of super-six or the equivalent (maximum of 8 sheets) for residents, commercial, and non-residents.
Must be wrapped as per statutory requirements:
- Cement-bonded only. Fibrous loose asbestos is not accepted and must only be handled by a licensed asbestos contractor.
- Wetted down before being wrapped.
- Double-wrapped in heavy duty (200 microns) builder’s plastic (polyethylene) and sealed with strong duct tape. Asbestos will not be accepted if wrapped in bin liners.
- Only 1 sheet of asbestos per package. Smaller pieces of asbestos cement should also be double bagged in heavy duty (200 microns) builder’s plastic.
- Double-wrap contaminated tools and materials too.
- Apply asbestos-warning stickers to the packages, or clearly label the packages as ‘ASBESTOS WASTE’ using a permanent marker pen.
- Package asbestos so that it can be lifted. Customers will be required to unload the asbestos by hand into a skip bin under the supervision of Transfer Station staff, taking care not to damage the wrapping.
Residents are responsible for unloading asbestos from their vehicle. Waste Transfer Station staff cannot assist.

Remember to sort and save
Sorting your rubbish load saves you money and reduces the amount of waste landfilled.
A sorted load is one that has been separated into waste types. For example, it is important that green waste is separated from general rubbish going to landfill, as green waste can be mulched. Other items such as scrap metal, white goods, brick rubble and sand/soil can be recycled and need to be separated.
Loads containing recyclable items that have not been sorted will be charged at the more expensive mixed waste rate.
