Wakefield returns to waste vouchers
Council's trial of unlimited waste disposal at transfer stations will conclude after a two-year trial period.
Residents will return to using Council’s transfer station voucher system from August 8. The 2026/27 vouchers have been issued with this quarter’s rates notice.
Council resolved to return to the voucher system at the April 2026, Council meeting after waste disposal amounts began to stabilise following the two year trial.
The vouchers entitle you, as the property owner or occupier, to six free deliveries of waste/recyclables/green organics from the property to Council’s transfer stations at Everard, Owen and Port Wakefield during 2026/27.
One voucher is equal to one 6ft x 4ft (1.8 x 1.2m) trailer up to 0.5m high or equivalent quantity.
To use the vouchers, you will need to provide proof that you are the owner or occupier for the address on the voucher.
Acceptable proof will include:
* Current rates bill
* Utility bill
* Driver’s licence
Vouchers will not be accepted without this proof of address.
If you currently rent or lease your dwelling and your landlord doesn’t pass on your vouchers you can call Council to claim your six vouchers for the year.
If you use all six vouchers, any additional loads delivered will be charged at the prescribed rates. There is no pensioner concession rate or non-resident rate.
A full list of transfer station charges can be viewed on Council’s website alongside opening hours.
