Waste Management and Minimisation Plan

Don’t let your rates go to waste

Authorised Waste Permit

The landfill is not open to the public, only Authorised Users are allowed to dispose of waste at the facility. You will need to make prior arrangements with an Authorised User before you are able to submit your application for a Special Waste Permit.
