Fees
The fees depends on:

- the type of waste
- the vehicle you bring it in.
Use the below fees as a guide only. The weighbridge operator will let you know the final fee when you arrive.
No matter how much waste you bring, you will be charged a minimum fee of $30 for residents and $39 for non-residents.
Fees are changed based on whether the load is level with the side of the trailer or less. You'll be charged per cubic metre for a bigger load or caged trailers.
