Waste Facilities Operating Hours, Fees and Charges

***The Burrum Heads, Yengarie, Granville and Tinana waste facilities closed on 26 June 2023.

This decision will save ratepayers about $426,000 a year, ensure the remaining facilities operate more efficiently and increase our recycling efforts.

The changes will mean 97% of residents will still be within a 20-minute drive and 99% within a 30-minute drive of a waste facility.

All residents in the areas where the closures take effect will continue to receive a weekly waste and fortnightly recycling kerbside bin collection.***
