Sort your load and save money
By sorting your waste before heading to the Bairnsdale Landfill or local transfer stations you can save money.
Loads that are sorted into recyclables, green waste, and general rubbish are often cheaper to dispose of than mixed loads.
Many items can be disposed of for free, such as cardboard, batteries, metal, or garden waste. So you can help reduce landfill costs and support local recycling efforts.
Single: $20
Double or Queen: $27
King: $34
