Revised Trial of Transfer Station Hours for Hay, Booligal & Maude

Revised Trial of Transfer Station Hours for Hay, Booligal & Maude
At Council meeting 28 July 2020 resolved, regarding Council’s waste management, to endorse a modified trial opening hours to commence on Monday 17 August 2020.

The revised trial opening hours are as follows:

      

The reduction in the opening hours of the landfill sites is to ensure the sites are manned at all times when open to the public.

This is to ensure the safety of the public when accessing the site as well as to reduce the contamination of waste streams, to reduce the overall general waste going straight to landfill.

A reminder that there will limited capacity to accept bulky waste (mattresses, white goods, construction waste) at both Booligal or Maude landfills.

Please remember to practice social distancing with Council staff and other members of the public, and to be patient if you have to wait a few minutes to unload your waste.

Also we ask residents to think about your loads, to enable you to take of the separate waste streams in order to increase recycling of cardboard, green waste, metal waste, etc.

Please see Tip staff to assist with making it easier to unload your waste when you visit our facilities.

Please note that illegal dumping of waste will be monitored by both Council and the EPA with strict laws relating to illegal dumping to ensure wrongdoers pay heavy penalties for potentially harming human health and the environment, with on the spot fines of up $7,500 for individuals and $15,000 for corporations.
