Landfill is categorised into the following areas:
Mixed waste is general household materials
Green waste is free to Council residents at local landfill sites, and Council encourages residents to transfer their own green waste during opening hours.
Plastics and Aluminium cans may be deposited in the receptors provided at the entrance and are also free to Council residents.
Metals have their own area and may be deposited in a specific site
Building materials have their own area and may be deposited in a specific site.
