Recycling Area<br />
There’s plenty of parking for easy disposal.<br />
Staff are available to help, as well as ensure<br />
that dumped goods meet recycling standards.<br />
Suitable recycling items include oil, batteries,<br />
glass bottles and jars, metal, timber, cardboard,<br />
as well as co-mingled goods like plastic bottles,<br />
milk cartons and paper. Drop-offs at the<br />
recycling area are free of charge.<br />
General Waste / Green Waste<br />
Customers enter and leave via the toll booth<br />
and weighbridges, where their vehicle is<br />
weighed (green waste excepted). Customers<br />
must pay either a minimum change or the cost<br />
based on the weight difference of their vehicle<br />
(in versus out).<br />
For green waste, vehicles must stop at the toll<br />
booth where the operator will estimate the<br />
charge at cubic metre rates. Payment is made<br />
at this point, and customers are then directed<br />
to the drop off point. The rate for green waste<br />
is calculated by the volume (length by width<br />
by height) of the load. Customers still leave via<br />
the exit-weighbridge.<br />

• Asbestos<br />
• Controlled (hazardous) waste<br />

Clean Fill<br />
Until the end of June 2015, a charge of $11<br />
per tonne will be applied to clean fill waste.<br />
During this period, all trucks disposing of clean<br />
fill material will need to report to the toll booth<br />
at Barretta for weighing, disposal location,<br />
and payment. Clean fill will only be accepted<br />
if payment is made on the day of disposal, or<br />
on existing account set up with Kingborough<br />
Waste Services.<br />
From July 1, clean fill material will not be<br />
accepted at the site.<br />
