Transfer Stations Transfer stations are not a landfill or dump. They are designed to receive local residents' domestic self-hauled waste and recycling that can be separated into various waste streams for transfer and disposal to recycling facilities. Items taken to the transfer station include: oils, paints (spray paint cans), gas bottles, fire extinguishers, tyres, medical waste, batteries, smoke detectors, green waste, general household waste and unused household furnishing. Items that are non-recyclable are taken to the Advanced Resource Recovery Facility or to landfill. Please note that you can take household recyclable items such as paper, cardboard, steel, aluminium, plastic and glass to your local transfer station free of charge, excluding Bramston Beach Waste Disposal Site.
