Waste Transfer Station

The Waste Transfer Station can take waste from both residents and the commercial sector. A variety of materials are accepted:

• asbestos
• cardboard
• clean inert construction waste
• electronic waste (e-waste)
• green waste
• household hazardous waste
• mattresses
• mixed waste
• motor oil
• polystyrene
• pool covers
• steel/scrap metal
• tyres.

For fees and requirements, see related tab below.

Car gas cylinders are only accepted if they have been degassed and punctured twice to depressurise them.
 

^ proof of residence is required.

Affected by the verge collection delays?
An option is for affected residents to take their rubbish (including up to two mattresses) directly to the Waste Transfer Station, where the usual fee will be removed up until 30 June 2023. Proof of address is required.

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.
 

The public can drop off their unwanted household hazardous waste at the Waste Transfer Station for free, even if they are not a resident.

Accepted household hazardous waste:

• acids and alkalis
• aerosols
• batteries (household)
• engine coolants and glycols
• fire extinguishers; non-halon (red) only
• flammables
• flares
• fluorescent lamps and tubes (CLFs)
• gas cylinders (small household 9kg)
• household chemicals (e.g. cleaners)
• paint
• pesticides/herbicides
• poisons/toxics

Unknown chemicals are accepted but must be in sealed chemical resistant containers.

We only accept household quantities of materials:

Good condition items

If you have unwanted items sitting at home, you can give them a second life and drop them off at the Waste Transfer Station. Our staff will assess the quality and safety of the items and decide whether they can be sold at the market. Items deemed unfit for sale must be removed or a fee may incur.

The collected items will be sold at the Reuse Market, our bi-monthly event aimed at reducing waste and promoting second-hand shopping.

E-waste for Sam's Spares

Residents can donate e-waste to Sam’s Spares – a charity run by Sam, an 18-year-old Autistic man with Tourette Syndrome, who saves unwanted e-waste from landfill by repairing and rebuilding them. Note that a fee applies for non-residents. 

To help Sam collect e-waste, we’ve added a new collection point at the Waste Transfer Station. Sam accepts laptops, desktop computers, monitors, keyboards and mice, mobile phones, tablets, games systems and/or accessories, laptop power cables and computer parts.
