Drop-off

Your choice- pay $279.50 a tonne for mixed loads or $206.50 per tonne for seperated waste at the landfill or you can sort you load prior to heading to the landfill and bring your recyclable / reusable items through the Recycle Shop drop off area located just before the main entry to the landfill.

By sorting your load you not only save money, but you are reducing the amount of recyclable / reusable items ending up where they should not be – in the landfill.
