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.

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 2020/2021 barcodes are highlighted in purple. These expire on 31 July 2021.

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.

Green waste brought to the landfill by residents is charged at $34 for up to 1.5 metres.

These prunings, along with the verge collections are recycled on-site at the landfill, by shredding it into mulch. When available this shredded greenwaste (mulch) is available free to the public, however residents are responsible for loading it themselves.
