Tip information
Trafalgar landfill closed but Trafalgar transfer station is open to the public
Trafalgar has both a landfill and a transfer station. The landfill is used mainly for commercial companies depositing their waste, which is currently closed.
However the transfer station remains open to the general public to deposit household waste.
The Shire has four transfer stations and one landfill. A maximum of 3 cubic metres of garbage can be received at the transfer stations. Disposal fees vary depending on the type and quantity of rubbish you are disposing of.
Costs can be reduced significantly by separating your recyclables from other waste. Most recyclable waste can be deposited free of charge (except green organics). It is important that you contact the transfer station prior to disposal of recyclables.
