Landfill rates
For loads under 250 kg, the minimum charge is $25 per load. The rate for garbage (basic sanitary rate) is $113 per tonne (1000 kg).
Citizens are responsible for all unloading of materials – staff are not available to assist.
Below you will also find rates for recyclable and compostable materials such as wood, scrap metal, yard waste and other construction materials.
Commercial rates for recycling and composting materials
Commercial customers are subject to the higher disposal surcharge rate for loads that include readily-recyclable and compostable materials.
Items on the disposal surcharge materials list should be separated and taken to appropriate processing facilities, where lower rates will apply.
Preferred methods of payment are credit card (Visa, Mastercard and American Express), debit card or cash.
No GST is charged on landfill rates.
Composition of waste loads is highly variable. The City landfill staff has final say about acceptability of any material and the charges applied to each load.
