Landfill Fees and Charges

Greenwaste

Disposal of clean, uncontaminated greenwaste is free for domestic loads.

Greenwaste is organic material such as garden clippings and prunings. When depositing waste as greenwaste, you must ensure it is free of all contaminants, including paper and soil. Greenwaste will be monitored for contaminants at the disposal point and contaminated greenwaste will be charged at the relevant landfill charge.

Greenwaste is recycled at the landfill into mulch for sale by the landfill contractor.
