Millar Road Landfill and Recycling Facility

Residential customers

Residential customers entering the landfill are required to pay by tip pass, cash or EFTPOS. Some recyclable items are accepted free of charge. Enter the site via the car lane if using a car, utility, van or trailer.

Loads in excess of three cubic metres are deemed to be commercial and will be charged by weight.

Conditions of entry

Customers entering the landfill are required to follow the conditions of entry. These are signposted at the facility and are as follows:

• enclosed shoes must be worn to access the facility and be worn at all times
• appropriate clothing to be worn (upper and lower body attire)
• no aggressive behaviours
• treat all staff with respect - they are there to assist the operation of the landfill and not the unloading waste
• obey posted speed limits onsite
• current tip passes must be presented at the weighbridge window upon arrival.

Illegal dumping including asbestos will not be tolerated onsite and appropriate authorities will be notified.

Residential barcoded tip passes

City of Rockingham ratepayers receive tip passes for the facility each year on their rates notice, allowing four free "multi-purpose" entries per household. Each entry pass is for up to 1.5m³ and can be used for either general or green waste.

The tip pass barcode is located on the bottom of the original rates notice in a detachable section. The 2023/2024 barcodes expire on 31 July 2024.

Lost tip passes can be replaced by contacting us on 9528 0333. The ratepayer of the property or property manager are authorised to make the request.

Commercial customers

Loads in excess of three cubic metres, or heavy vehicles must enter the site via the weighbridge. There is a minimum charge of 500kg for most waste types. Payment is made in full upon entry by cash, EFTPOS, business cheque or by prearranged accounts. See Landfill Fees below in Related documents.

Visit the commercial waste page for more information.

Shredded green waste (mulch) is available to the public free of charge. Residents are responsible for loading the mulch themselves. Correct clothing, footwear, and tools will be required.

Shredded green waste is recycled on site at the landfill from general green waste, prunings and green waste verge collections.

Residential visitors to the landfill are able to drop off certain items free of charge, depending on the type and condition of the material. This is at the discretion of landfill staff. All other rubbish, including e-waste (please view the E-Waste Accepted and Not Accepted List below), may incur a fee.

The following items are accepted free of charge (subject to the acceptance of landfill staff):

• cardboard
• gas bottles

Items for reuse will incur normal landfill fees.
