Resource Recovery Centre vouchers

Council provides resource recovery centre vouchers each year with your rates notice.

Your rates notice contains a barcode that can be scanned up to 5 times at any of our Resource Recovery Centres. Each scan is worth $35 and the vouchers expires on 30 September each year.

Bring your voucher and proof of ID when you visit a Resource Recovery Centre. If your load exceeds the value of your Resource Recovery Centre voucher you will need to pay the difference.
