When you come to get rid of waste we'll work out how much you need to pay, based on the weight of the load you’re dumping.

Your load is weighed as you enter the site, then you offload your waste then return to the weighbridge and kiosk to pay – this creates a more accurate way of charging for what’s being dumped.

If you have a mixed load which includes recyclables, you’ll need to leave the recycling until the end and then take those items over to the recycling area after you’ve finally weighed and paid – this means you won’t get charged for them.
