Sort and save
All materials must be sorted, separated, and placed in the appropriate designated area or where directed by transfer station attendants. Loads that are not sorted and separated will either be refused or the entire load charged at the hard waste rate.
Recyclable materials must not be placed in the skips that are sent to landfill.
Most transfer stations have different charges for different materials, so if an item can be recycled, repurposed, or reprocessed it is cheaper to dispose of, and some materials are accepted for free.
If a load is not sorted, it can be difficult to see what types of materials are in the load. Unsorted loads will either be rejected or charged at the hard-waste rate.
Sorting can be as simple as putting all of the household recyclables together, flattening any large cardboard boxes, putting bricks together, and separating timber, metals, electronic waste, and green waste. By doing all of this, you can help reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill, which ultimately helps our environment.
Maximum allowable volume
The maximum allowable volume of any single material is 2m3 per day. We will not accept over this volume at any of our transfer stations.
No tipping trailers will be accepted.
