Council operates drop-off facilities at Beech Forrest, Lavers Hill, Carlisle River and Gellibrand for residents without access to kerbside waste collection services and need to dispose of their domestic waste and recycling only.

This service operates twice a month, with additional collection dates in January.

Drop Off and Transfer Stations are cashless sites - EFTPOS facilities are available at each location. Waste disposal tip tickets books can be pre-purchased at the Council Customer Service Centre's in Colac and Apollo Bay, or by calling 03 5232 9400. Information about current waste disposal charges is available on our website.
