How to sort your load
Sorting your load before visiting the waste facility helps to reduce waste and recycle right.
Make your trip to the tip easy. Before you leave home:
- Be aware of opening hours, disposal fees and conditions of entry for your local facility.
- Separate your recycling and waste products.
- Group similar items together.
- Pack your vehicle or trailer for when you get to the waste facility. Items unloaded first need to be packed last (recyclables are unloaded first then green waste and general waste last).
- Consider taking an extra person with you to help with heavier items.
Make sure you comply with the following waste facility safety regulations:
- follow staff directions and signage
- declare your load correctly
- your load may be inspected
- enclosed shoes only
- children and pets must remain in the vehicle
- no smoking
- unlawful entry, scavenging or salvaging is prohibited
- ensure your load is correctly secured
