EXTREME WEATHER SEASON IS COMING - ARE YOU READY?

Get Ready for disaster season with FREE dumping for all sorted domestic waste at all Cook Shire Waste Transfer Stations from Tuesday 25 October until Monday 7 November 2022.

Cleaning up, clearing, and properly disposing of domestic waste from in and around your property, will help to prepare your home and your family for what might come.

To help you prepare for the disaster season, all Cook Shire waste transfer stations will be accepting SORTED DOMESTIC WASTE* for FREE from Tuesday 25 October until Monday 7 November 2022.

All waste must be pre-sorted, so please sort your waste into separate streams. For example:

  • Household waste
  • Mixed recyclables
  • Green waste
  • Whitegoods
  • Batteries and gas bottles (for safety reasons, please declare these items at the gate).

All un-sorted waste will be charged according to the regular fees and charges. 

Domestic waste does not include tyres.
