Layout and Operation
Click here to view a map of the Waste Transfer Station showing its location and the collection areas for different waste.
Please note that most waste is collected in large bins and you’ll need to unload the waste from your vehicle into the bins.
The Waste Transfer Station Attendant will most likely not be able to help and the Shire does not keep any machinery at the Waste Transfer Station for unloading waste from vehicles into bins.

Recycling shop
The Waste Transfer Station includes a Recycling Shop where you can buy a variety of items at low prices, including furniture, bikes, toys, household goods, building materials, etc.
You are not allowed to take things from the Waste Transfer Station for free or purchase items that have safety risks such as electrical and gas appliances, damaged products or items that don’t meet mandatory standards.
Tip passes
Tip Passes are available to those property owners who pay the Annual Waste Services Charge through their Annual Rates.
Tip Passes enable those property owners to dispose of certain waste at the Capel Waste Transfer Station for free.
The passes are not transferable and cannot be used by businesses or contractors.
The passes can only be used to dispose of the types and amounts of waste specified and fees may still apply to dispose of mixed or additional waste.
If someone other than the owner occupies the property the Tip Passes have been allocated to, the owner or property manager should give the passes to the occupant of the property.
Some rural property owners do not receive a regular waste collection service provided by the Shire, i.e. they don’t have wheelie bins that are picked up each week.
Property owners that do not receive a waste collection service do not pay the Annual Waste Services Charge through their Rates and are not eligible to receive Tip Passes for the free disposal of waste.
Penalties
The Shire appreciates that most people using the Waste Transfer Station do the right thing. However, penalties may be issued to people that commit offences such as:
- Failing to comply with a sign or direction from the Waste Transfer Station Attendant
- Removing waste from the site without authorisation
- Depositing toxic, poisonous or hazardous waste
- Littering – remember to cover your load!
