How To Load Your Waste

Sort your waste in your Ute or trailer and save.

You can save time, effort and money by making a few small changes to the way you pack your load before your trip to a Waste and Recycling Centre.

Our Waste and Recycling Centres accept many recyclable items for free, by sorting your load into recyclable and non-recyclable materials you can lower the cost of your load.

Load your vehicle in three sections

  1. Load your vehicle with landfill waste (non-recyclables)                  
  2. Load your vehicle with items that can recycled for no charge
  3. Load your vehicle with items that may be accepted at the Reuse Shop

Trailer and how to load your rubbish.

Residents can drop off the following items free of charge

  • Excess recycling from your recycling bin (loads less than 1 cubic metre)
  • Metal waste including washing machines and dryers
  • Items that could be resold at the Reuse Shop, as our staff
  • Gas bottles, paint, fire extinguisher, fluoro globes and tubes, aerosol cans, smoke detectors, motor and other oils, household, and car batteries
  • Cardboard (loads less than 1 cubic metre)

Secure your load

Did you know it is illegal not to secure your load? Loose loads can be dangerous, and sometimes fatal to you and other drivers. Always ensure your load is correctly secured with nets, tie down straps or ropes.
