How to use the facility 

1. Enter via the weighbridge and drive to area A - the green section where 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 shed) for depositing recyclable and re-useable items.  Staff are on hand to help you.  Re-useable items are offered at a later time in the Reviva reuse shop.
3. After the RRA, drive to the residual waste area (RWT - 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 off load at the facility - rubbish on the bottom, recycling and re-useable items in the middle and green waste, 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 facility operates as a waste transfer facility. It is not a landfill.  This means that odour from the site is negligible. Landfill continues at the Toowoomba Waste Management Centre, on Hermitage Road. Waste is transported regularly off site and depending on the item, it is recycled, reprocessed or buried in landfill. A waste transfer facility provides a more efficient way to safely manage many different types of waste from a variety of different sources. 
 

Future projects 

We are preparing for the future and are planning to build strategically placed facilities. The Greater Toowoomba Waste Management Facility is being used as a model for these facilities which will be smaller in size. For information on these facilities, open the Major projects - Water and waste page.

Located at the Greater Toowoomba Waste Management Facility, the Reviva Reuse Shop sells a diverse range of products including building supplies, household furniture, office furniture, bicycles, bric-a-brac, collectables, kitchenware, electrical goods, white goods, books, music, movies, toys, tools and machinery, barbeques, household items and appliances, sporting goods, plus much more.

Open: Thursday to Sunday 9am - 4pm. (Public holidays including Christmas Day and New Years Day is as advertised by the tip shop).
