We run four Transfer Stations so our community can dispose of large items and waste that is not accepted in kerbside bins.

Our Transfer Stations are at Wangaratta, Markwood, Moyhu, and Eldorado.

We encourage all customers to separate recyclable items from general waste to reduce waste going to landfill. Recyclable items are also free to dispose of so separating them from your general waste will save you money!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Moyhu Transfer Station will be closed Saturday 4 April 2026.

The Wangaratta Transfer Station will be open from 10am to 4.30pm.

We apologise for any inconvenience.
