Domestic Waste Disposal Guidelines at Council’s Waste Facilities

Council would like to remind residents and businesses that Council’s usual procedure is to charge for the disposal or recycling of waste items that are transported via private vehicles to Council Waste Management Facilities.

The exception to these charges is for domestic waste, which can be recycled or disposed of free of charge for all Isaac region residents.

This includes general household waste, recyclables, green waste, scrap metal, car batteries, old computers and televisions.

To be eligible, residents must deliver domestic household waste from their own place of residence to any of Council’s Waste Management Facilities in a private vehicle such as a car, utes, and trailers.

In line with State Government legislation, Council will record the domestic waste being delivered and the details of the vehicle. No charge is incurred regardless of how many visits the resident makes to the waste facility.

Upon arrival at any of Council’s Waste Management Facility sites, please advise the staff of the waste you wish to dispose of and you’ll be directed to the dedicated disposal areas.

Domestic waste delivered in a commercial vehicle will receive a charge, even if it originates from a domestic residence. A commercial vehicle is defined as any vehicle with a GVM > 4.5 tonne.

To check your eligibility, contact Council before visiting any of Council’s Waste Management Facilities.

Council will charge for disposal of some items, even if they are transported by a domestic resident in a private vehicle. These items include fridges and freezers, air conditioners, tyres, mattresses and construction and demolition waste.

A list of Council’s fees and charges can be found at Council’s website.  Please note that Council facilities other than Greenhill accept EFTPOS payments only.
