Waste from all Council's operations including kerbside bin services, transported general waste from the regional waste facilities and most local commercial general waste services across the region are disposed of at our landfill, and commercial and domestic customers use the facility to dispose of waste. The landfill is scientifically engineered to contain and prevent environmental contamination. This is why it is important to ensure waste is diverted to the correct management systems to ensure resource recovery is optimised and contamination and waste to landfill is managed correctly and reduced at every opportunity.

Top tips to reduce waste disposal costs

By encouraging reuse, recycling and resource recovery at home and in your business, you can reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfill. Reducing your waste can save you money, and benefit the environment.

Everybody can reduce the amount of waste they send to landfill. Separate your general waste from recyclables and you will save! By using the Community Recycling Centre before disposing in landfill, you can save money on disposal fees. Free disposal of many recyclable items is available to residents of the Rockhampton Region. Disposal by customers from outside the Region may not be accepted (with exception to the Paintback program which accepts materials from any Central Queensland residents regardless of which Council area.)

Here are some handy tips to reduce your disposal costs. Drop off options vary between waste facilities so if you are unsure, ask a friendly staff member or check on the Waste Facilities page.
