The cost is $20 incl GST for up to 2 cubic metres (approximately 2 level standard trailer loads). Bookings and credit card payments can be made by phoning the Resource Recovery Centre (RRC) on 4868 0500 by 4.00 pm on the Friday before the Monday collection. Payment can also be made at the Civic Centre. If payment is made at the Civic Centre, a booking must still be made with the RRC, quoting the receipt number.
