Waste Disposal Fees
To find out more information about how much it will cost to dispose of your waste at the Transfer Stations, download a copy of the Transfer Station Waste fees for domestic and commercial visitors.
- Transfer Station Waste Fees (Domestic/ Commercial)
- Council Adopted Fees and Charges
- Queensland Government Waste Levy for Commercial Disposals to Landfill (See below)
Payment options
You can pay for waste disposal by:
- Debit and credit cards (Visa and Mastercard only).
- Cash
We cannot accept debit or credit card payments over the phone.
Usage requirements
From 1 July 2019, legislation requires residents using Council's waste facilities to:
- have their registration recorded
- show proof (photo ID) of residency within the Lockyer Valley region. Fees and charges apply to non-residents.
Commercial operators are not required to show identification. Commercial fees apply. - declare the type(s) and quantity of waste being delivered
- verify the nature of the waste (domestic or commercial).
Sort and Save!
Separate recyclable, reusable and recoverable items before you start loading your vehicle. Keeping these separate from general waste will make it safer and easier to unload when you get to the site - and can also save you waste disposal fees.
If a load is not sorted, it can be difficult for operators to see how much and what types of materials are in the load. Customers are only charged a fee for waste that they dispose of. Dropping off acceptable reusable, recyclable or recoverable items is free.
Sorting your load before you visit will make it easier to pack and safer to unload and can save you money when you attend the waste facility.
The general waste transfer station bin should only be used for those items that can’t be reused, recycled or recovered and need disposal.
Don’t forget to restrain and cover the load before leaving home. Pack things tightly, use boxes and bags for small items and use a tarpaulin or cargo net as well as straps to secure the load.
Be sure to check out our recycling locations to sort and save $$ Recycling Drop Off Points
Waste Levy Information
On 1 July 2019 the Queensland Government introduced a waste levy to encourage the reduction of waste generation and grow the resource recovery and recycling industry. The levy applies to 39 Local Governments located in the levy zone, which includes Lockyer Valley Regional Council (metro zone). The Queensland Government will provide annual payments to Council to ensure there is no direct impact on the household from this levy.
Why a waste levy?
The levy is part of a new strategy for Queensland to increase recycling and resource recovery and reduce waste to landfill.
How will the levy be applied?
The landfill levy will be applied to all major waste streams including Commercial and Industrial (C&I), Construction and Demolition (C&D), Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and regulated waste disposed of to landfills within the levy zone. The annual payment received by Council from the Queensland Government will ensure there is no direct impact or cost for MSW (household waste) kerbside wheelie bin collections or self-haul household waste taken to Council waste facilities. The levy will not be applied to clean recyclable material suitable for resource recovery and recycled.
For more information please visit the Queensland Government website.
What can we do?
The Queensland Government is encouraging all businesses and others to recycle more and waste less.
Where can I find out more?
