Transfer Station Charges
The fee you pay at the Transfer Station covers some of the cost of running and looking after the landfill, litter in the district, and managing old dump sites. User-pays also means that the people who MAKE the rubbish have to PAY to get rid of their own rubbish - and thus other ratepayers who utilise different ways to reduce their rubbish e.g. free recycling, are not subsidising others through their rates.
Tyre Disposal
All tyres are to be charged independently and are on top of other refuse charges.
Car bodies are not accepted and can be taken to a scrap metal dealer.
