Site Safety Rules

1. Follow directions from staff
Directions from staff must be followed.

2. Stop at the entry
The car entry is for cars, station wagons and standard ute, van and trailer loads. The weighbridge is used by trucks. Once stopped at the appropriate entry your load will be assessed by the Centre Attendant. You may be asked to uncover loads for inspection purposes. Staff will direct you to the correct location for your waste types.

  • Speed limit of 20 km per hour

  • Seatbelts must be worn when driving on the site.

As with any public road, fines may apply when road rules are disregarded.

7. Cover your load
It is illegal and unsafe to have an insecure load, projecting load or have material escape on the road. Fines apply for non-compliance.

8. Wear appropriate footwear and clothing
Due to the nature of activity on site it is highly recommended that you wear appropriate footwear and clothing.
