Waste disposal fees for our landfills and transfer stations.

Green waste

Green waste: $12 per cubic metre

Rate payers are offered one green waste voucher annually, in addition to the hard waste voucher as part of their rates notice. The voucher allows for free disposal of up to 1.5 cubic metres of green waste once a year, no refund or credit if you do not use the full 1.5 cubic metres in one transaction.

Green waste disposal is free for the month of November to help residents prepare for bushfire season.

Council offers a rebate on several reusable products to help people reduce waste going to landfill. Worm farm and compost bins are included in the rebate scheme.
