Wollert Landfill has an EPA Licence (ES12309) to accept waste. This includes:

Small vehicles carrying household and garden waste are also accepted at our transfer station.

• All asbestos must be double-wrapped in heavy-grade builder's plastic (0.2mm thickness), with the joints taped.
• Household asbestos must be brought to a special bin at our Transfer Station and be contained within packages that can be lifted by one person into the bin.
• Commercial asbestos loads must have an EPA Waste Transport Certificate and taken to a specially assigned area of the Landfill Tipping Face to offload.
• The commercial asbestos must be double wrapped in packages no more than one-metre high, or in sealed containers no bigger than 200 litres.
• It must also be delivered in a Ro-Ro bin, not a tip truck so it can be slid on an angle into the landfill, rather than dropped onto the ground.
   

Please contact us for pricing on the delivery of large items containing asbestos, including boilers and chimneys. These items must be individually quoted before acceptance.

1. What is E-Waste (Electrical items)?

   E-waste is any household appliance with a plug, cord or battery. This includes any household electrical items such as televisions, computers, tablets, printers, vacuum cleaners, toasters, hair dryers, video and DVD players, electrical tools or electronic toys.

   It is important that E-Waste is recycled properly so that valuable materials are recovered, any potential ignition sources are moved from waste streams. E-Waste is banned from being disposed to landfill.

   You can find additional information on E-Waste recycling options at the Whittlesea Council A-Z Waste guide: https://www.whittlesea.vic.gov.au/waste-environment/bins-and-waste/a-z-guide-to-waste-and-recycling/

2. Can I bring carpet to the landfill?

   Yes you can bring carpet to the landfill. This is treated as hard waste if you are using a City of Whittlesea Hard Waste voucher.

3. Can I recycle Cardboard at the Transfer Station?

   Yes cardboard is accepted from City of Whittlesea householders only.
