Household recycling and waste will continue to be free to dispose (with the exception of tyres) at all Shire waste facilities.
Commercial (non-household) waste will be charged as per Council's Waste Management Disposal Fees if it can not be recycled. Recycling of commercial waste is free, however load size limits may apply.
Commercial waste is currently only accepted for disposal at Trap Gully Landfill; however plans are in place to accept and charge for small quantities of this waste at other Shire facilities in the near future.
