What this means for you
- Your annual tip tickets will continue to be accepted at the Spreyton Waste Transfer Station.
- Previously, one tip ticket covered a load of up to 0.5 cubic metres. Under the new system, this will instead be applied as the weight equivalent of up to 50 kg for general waste.
- If your load exceeds 50kg, multiple tickets can be used.
- Once all tickets are used, any additional charges will be based on the measured weight of the waste and payable at the gate.
- Tip tickets can be used for general waste (Landfill, green waste and timber).
- Gate charges apply for all other types of waste (Tyres, asbestos and oil etc).
- Recycling and many recoverable items will continue to be accepted free of charge, as long as they are correctly sorted.
Why this change is good for our community?
- Lower costs through sorting – Separating materials can reduce your disposal fees.
- Better recycling outcomes – Use the new Resource Recovery Centre to remove free recyclable items before being weighed.
- Environmental benefits – Less waste to landfill, more materials recovered.
