Important notes
Loads that contain any other materials will be charged at the standard rate.
Green waste and brick rubble are not free items and will be charged.
Residential loads only - commercial loads will not be accepted.
Metal drums must have the lids removed.
Why are only some recyclables accepted for free?
The City can cover the cost of handling items such as steel and aluminium by reselling them. Items such as green waste and rubble are costly to process and have little or no resale value and therefore cannot be accepted for free.
