Customers wanting to take bulk rubbish directly to landfill will need to contact the Shire Administration Office to arrange payment, prior to arranging for it to be dropped off. All customers must be accompanied when they are dropping rubbish off as this is a condition of our licence.
Once paid for, you will need to contact the Shire Depot to arrange a time to drop off the rubbish. The Landfill can only be accessed with a member of Shire staff is present, which is normally midday Wednesdays.
