The Armidale Waste Management Facility is designed to maximise recycling and reuse of material. At the Transfer Station you are encouraged to sort your load into various skips. If your load is mixed/or contaminated and only fit for landfill, you will be charged a higher fee. Council reserves the right to weigh loads both going into and out of the landfill.
Customers are reminded fees and charges are applied to some services at waste management facilities. Customers are also advised the facilities operate on a strictly nil cash payment basis and only accept credit/debit cards for payment.
Plant Material Source Form & Asbestos Disposal Booking Form
We are introducing a Plant Material Source Form as part of our risk management protocol to minimise potential harm to the environment and the introduction or spread of weeds, diseases and pest through the supply and application of mulch to land.
All customers bringing in plant material for disposal at the Armidale Waste Management Facility will be required to complete a Plant Material Source Form which can be found in the link below.
