3. After exiting the resource recovery area, drive to the residual waste area (RWA), red shed, for all your items that cannot be reused or recycled. 

How to pack your load

Pack your vehicle so that it's easy to empty at the facility. Rubbish on the bottom, recycling and re-usable items in the middle and green waste, scrap metal and bulky items at the top. You can do several laps of the facility if required.

What the facility offers

The is a waste transfer facility, not a landfill.  This means that odour from the site is negligible. Landfill continues at the Toowoomba Waste Management Centre, on Hermitage Road. We regularly transport waste off-site and depending on the item, recycled, reprocessed or buried in landfill. This process provides a more efficient way to manage many different types of waste from a variety of different sources, safely.

How to use the facility 

1. Enter via the weighbridge and drive to area A - the green section. Here you can offload your green waste, scrap metal, concrete and builders rubble, and other bulky items.
2. Then drive to the resource recovery area (RRA), yellow area, for depositing recyclable and re-useable items.  Re-useable items will be offered to the Reviva Re-use shop.
3. After leaving the resource recovery area, drive to the residual waste area (RWA), red shed, for all your items that are unable to be reused or recycled. 

How to pack your load

Pack your vehicle so that it's easy to offload at the facility. Place rubbish on the bottom, recycling and re-usable items in the middle and general waste (non-hazardous), scrap metal and bulky items at the top. It's possible to do several laps of the facility if required.

What the facility offers

The is a waste transfer facility, not a landfill.  This means that odour from the site is minor. Landfill continues at the Toowoomba Waste Management Centre, on Hermitage Road. We regularly transport waste off-site and depending on the item, recycled, reprocessed or buried in landfill. This process provides a more efficient way to manage many different types of waste from a variety of different sources, safely.
