The way you load your trailer can make a big difference to how much you pay at the gatehouse. By following these guidelines, your load will be easier to assess and you won’t be charged for items that can be dropped for free.

Bottles and Can, Paper and Carboard and Household Goods

Put re-useable household items and separated bottles and cans at the top of your load

  • Securely tie down household items that can be dropped off prior to unloading other materials
  • Place bottles and cans separate bags that can be empties and re-used
  • Flatter and secure cardboard and paper, keeping them separate from other waste

Metals, Bagged and Large Green Waste

Stack metals so they can be easily unloaded, and bag green waste when part of a mixed load

  • Carefully load metals so they balance your trailer and can be easily dropped off in the metal recycling area
  • Keep green waste separate by putting it into bags that can be emptied and re-used or by tying it in bundles.

Soil and Rubble, Bricks, Rocks and Concrete

Begin by filling your ute or trailer with heavy re-useable materials

  • Evenly distribute soil, concrete, bricks, roof tiles, rocks and rubble at the base of your load.
  • Separate rubbish carefully so that it doesn't contaminate other items
