At transfer stations we sort and collect waste and resources to give them another life. Some items are sold at our resale shop. Other materials are sent off for reuse or to be recycled and made into new products.
Shop for pre-loved treasures
We sell usable items in our onsite resale shop. Drop in to browse and find second-hand bargains such as household goods, toys, bikes, books and more.
Save time and fees - sort your load
Sort items into groups by material as you load up at home. This can make drop off quicker and save you money. Separate green waste, metals, e-waste, general rubbish. Unsorted loads will be charged at a higher rate.
You can drop most recyclables off for free. You will pay a fee to dispose of other waste.
