E-waste is any item that needs a plug or battery to work.
E-Waste is no longer permitted in Victoria's landfills. This therefore means that E-Waste cannot be disposed of in either your 120 litre rubbish bin, or 240 litre recycling bin.
E-waste may be recycled free of charge at any Wellington Shire Council Transfer Station or Landfill.
Examples of e-waste include:
To assist the community with fire preparation efforts, Wellington Shire Council holds no-fee green waste disposal at our Waste Facilities in Kilmany, Maffra, Loch Sport, Seaspray, Heyfield, Stratford and Yarram during November each year.
Green waste can be disposed of free of charge (excluding commercial operators) throughout the entire month of November 2020 during normal operating hours.
A householder may legally remove small amounts of asbestos from their property. As asbestos poses a health risk during removal, packaging, transport and disposal, it is important that it is handled safely during these operations.
Larger projects and commercial works must be undertaken by a qualified and licensed contractor.
Asbestos containing products must not be placed into domestic rubbish bins, placed out for hard rubbish collection or disposed of into building waste receptacles.
Domestic quantities only can be deposited at the Kilmany Resource Recovery Centre and Landfill if prior arrangements are made by phoning 1300 130 129. Kilmany is the only waste facility in our Shire that accepts asbestos.
Asbestos must be wrapped and transported according to section 6.1 of the EPA Industrial Waste Resource Guidelines. Please contact the Environmental Protection Agency for more information regarding the disposal of asbestos.
