Waste management information

Huon Valley Council would like to clarify Waste Management arrangements during this difficult time.

Kerbside Collection services remain unchanged.

All four Waste Transfer Stations in Huonville, Geeveston, Dover and Cygnet are maintaining their normal opening hours.

Waste Management is considered an essential service and accordingly, residents are permitted to leave their homes in order to dispose of waste at our facilities.

EFTPOS facilities have been provided at the Dover, Cygnet and Huonville Waste Transfer Stations and we encourage customers to use their cards for payments at those locations. Unfortunately, there is no EFTPOS machine at the Geeveston Waste Transfer Station due to poor internet reception.

For residents who normally utilise our Waste Transfer Stations but are currently unable to deliver their waste or recycling, we encourage you to seek the assistance of friends or family, or one of the local rubbish contractors.

Council is aware of three contractors who provide rubbish removal/transport services in the region including:

Re-Use Shop closure

Council has made the difficult decision to close the Re-use Shop in Huonville so that we can focus our efforts on essential waste services. This means that it is no longer possible to make donations to the Re-use Shop or purchase items in the shop.

We encourage residents who have items which they would normally donate to keep the items at home for donation when normal operations resume.
