Commercial Waste
Residential vehicles include cars, utes, and cars or utes with trailers. Only unmarked vehicles are considered residential—marked vehicles are classified as commercial.
Any vehicle larger than a ute with a trailer is also treated as commercial, and commercial fees will apply.
Charities registered with the Australian Charities and Not‑for‑profits Commission (ACNC) may apply for a fee exemption.
If you are carrying commercial waste, weighbridge operators will assess your load on arrival and direct you to the appropriate drop‑off point. Small loads may be redirected to the Resource Recovery Station (RRS).

FAQs
Why site entry requirements are necessary?
The City has a duty of care for all people entering its site under the WHS Act (2020). These measures are necessary due to the potential interaction between operational vehicles and commercial users at these locations (tipping face and commercial stockpiles). The City recommends all commercial users to be alert and follow directions.
What are the site entry requirements?
Call up on UHF Channel 16 when entering Cell and Commercial Stockpiles to make your presence known.
Hi-vis vest, enclosed shoes and bump caps are the PPE requirements.
What if I do not have a 2-way radio or PPE?
You will either be asked to leave site, be redirected to the Resource Recovery Station (if your vehicle can be accommodated) or be escorted to your tipping location. Please be aware that escorting services is applicable only if PPE requirements are met, may take up to 20 minutes and may not always be available.
