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 for free, even if they are not a resident.
Accepted household hazardous waste:
- acids and alkalis
- aerosols
- batteries (household and automotive)
- 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
- pool chemicals
- smoke detectors.
Unknown chemicals are accepted but must be in sealed chemical resistant containers.
We only accept household quantities of materials:
- no larger than 20kg or 20L per material type, per vehicle per day
- for paint, 100L per vehicle per day is accepted.
Helium, nitrous oxide gas (N2O) and SodaStream-type cylinders and canisters are not accepted. To find out more about returning SodaStream cylinders, visit the SodaStream website.
Donations including clothing, shoes and homewares (good quality and suitable for reuse) can be placed in the Good Sammy donation bins.
E-waste for Sam's Spares
Residents can donate e-waste to Sam’s Spares – a charity run by Sam, an 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 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.
New LBin Tail Lift platforms have been installed at the Transfer Station. The platforms make it safer and easier when unloading trucks.
The platforms are only for trucks with a tail greater than 1.8m and a truck deck floor higher than 800mm.
If it is your first time, please chat to our staff on-site to learn how to use the platform safely. To learn more, please watch this video:
