Wollert landfill services & information
Our landfill services
Wollert Landfill has an EPA Licence (ES12309) to accept waste. This includes:
| Putrescible Waste | Waste from homes, councils, commercial and industrial premises, except prescribed industrial waste. |
| Solid Inert Waste | All types. |
| Asbestos | All types, including from buildings or insulation. Please review our Asbestos Handling Requirements. |
| Contaminated Soil (Category C) | Soils contaminated by industrial processes and that are classified as "low level." |
Small vehicles carrying household and garden waste are also accepted at our transfer station.
Asbestos requirements
- All asbestos must be double-wrapped in heavy-grade builder's plastic (0.2mm thickness), with the joints taped.
- Household asbestos must be brought to a special bin at our Transfer Station and be contained within packages that can be lifted by one person into the bin.
- Commercial asbestos loads must have an EPA Waste Transport Certificate and taken to a specially assigned area of the Landfill Tipping Face to offload.
- The commercial asbestos must be double wrapped in packages no more than one-metre high, or in sealed containers no bigger than 200 litres.
- It must also be delivered in a Ro-Ro bin, not a tip truck so it can be slid on an angle into the landfill, rather than dropped onto the ground.
Please contact us for pricing on the delivery of large items containing asbestos, including boilers and chimneys. These items must be individually quoted before acceptance.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What is E-Waste (Electrical items)?
E-waste is any household appliance with a plug, cord or battery. This includes any household electrical items such as televisions, computers, tablets, printers, vacuum cleaners, toasters, hair dryers, video and DVD players, electrical tools or electronic toys.
It is important that E-Waste is recycled properly so that valuable materials are recovered, any potential ignition sources are moved from waste streams. E-Waste is banned from being disposed to landfill.
You can find additional information on E-Waste recycling options at the Whittlesea Council A-Z Waste guide: https://www.whittlesea.vic.gov.au/waste-environment/bins-and-waste/a-z-guide-to-waste-and-recycling/
Can I bring carpet to the landfill?
Yes you can bring carpet to the landfill. This is treated as hard waste if you are using a City of Whittlesea Hard Waste voucher.
Can I recycle Cardboard at the Transfer Station?
Yes cardboard is accepted from City of Whittlesea householders only.
All cardboard must be completely flattened, all plastic and polystyrene (also known as Thermocol) must be removed prior to arriving on site.
If you have large quantities of cardboard we request you go directly to Visy 13 Reo Crescent, Campbellfield (7am-7pm daily).
