Millions of people call Sydney home, and that means millions of tonnes of waste needs to be processed every year as well. Thankfully, there are plenty of rubbish tips, recycling centres, transfer stations, and landfills around the region that process it all. Although not everyone’s happy about the trucks transferring the waste.
Some of the most common items accepted at tips around the city include green waste, common household waste, construction material, plastics, scrap metals, old timber, and electronics. Some specialist waste processors are also able to handle asbestos, batteries, chemicals, and other hazardous material. If you’re not sure whether the tip can accept your trash or not, give them a quick call beforehand.
Fees do vary from tip to tip, depending on if you’re a local resident, what kind of materials you’re thinking of unloading, and the total weight of those materials. Again, give them a quick call before you head down to avoid a surprise fee.
