In Australia most councils run a tip: a landfill, a transfer station where waste is sorted and trucked on, or a resource recovery centre. Gate fees and free tip vouchers are set by each council.
Search the map of Australia by a postcode such as 2000 or a town, or pick a region below. Distances are shown in kilometres.
Listings come from the Geoscience Australia Waste Management Facilities Database (CC BY 4.0; transfer stations and operational landfills only) and OpenStreetMap. Soft-plastics, container-deposit, e-waste-only and reprocessing sites, and privately run landfills with no public drop-off shown, are left out.
Listings aren't verified yet. Opening times, charges in AUD ($), booking and residents-only rules are set locally and change often, so check with the council before you go.
