When accessing a waste transfer station, consider the placement of waste in your vehicle and ensure recoverable materials are easily accessed.

Council currently has a Recycle Shop operating at the Nanango Waste Facility and through a partnership with Recycle Links at Kingaroy Street, Kingaroy. These two recycle shops sell bargain second hand and recycled items that would have otherwise ended up in landfill.

Residents can drop off reusable unwanted items directly to the nearest Recycle Shop.
