Landfill bin
When you put things into your landfill bin, they don’t just go away; they get trucked off and put into the ground at Anglesea Landfill.
If you’re a GOOD SORT, you might be surprised by how much you can avoid putting into your landfill bin.
Tips
- Don’t bag it! Waste can go into your bin loose.
- Know exactly what can go into your organics and recycling bins, and keep those things out of landfill.
- E-waste (that's anything with a plug or battery) is not allowed in landfills. Find out what to do with e-waste
- Any bags or extra waste sitting beside kerbside bins won’t be collected.
- We accept some things at our transfer stations free of charge.
- Keep soft plastics (wrappers/packaging that you can easily scrunch in your hand) out of landfill by taking them to a REDcycle collection point.
