Landfill bin

circle with waste bin iconWhen 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.
