WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR VISIT
Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, here’s how tipping at Penrith Recycling Depot works:
1. Enter through the right-hand roller door, and see a staff member.
2. Our team will measure your vehicle’s load area and classify your waste type.
3. Unload or tip your waste as directed by our staff
4. Exit the site safely, and you’re back on the road.
How We Charge
We charge by the cubic metre. When you arrive, our staff will measure your tipper, trailer, or truck (length, width, and height) to calculate the cubic capacity of your load. No weighbridge, no waiting around.
Different waste types are charged at different rates. Separated loads are generally cheaper than mixed loads, so sorting your waste before you visit can reduce your costs.
For current rates, give us a call on 02 4708 2927. We’re happy to give you a quote over the phone so you know what to expect before you arrive.
HOW YOUR WASTE IS RECYCLED
We don’t just dump it. All waste received at Penrith Recycling Depot is sorted on site by our team. Recyclable materials are separated and sent to specialist recycling centres for further processing, while only non-recyclable residual waste goes to landfill.
This means your building debris, timber, metals, concrete, green waste and other materials get a second life wherever possible, and less ends up in the ground.
Need a record of how your waste was handled? With prior notice, we can provide a Waste and Recycling Report detailing the breakdown of recyclable and landfill material from our facility. This can be useful for builders and project managers who need waste management documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I need to book before visiting?
You don’t need to book, though a phone call to 02 4708 2927 when you are on your way during our opening hours, Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm, helps ensure we will have the area clear and accessible for you.
How do you calculate the cost?
We charge by the cubic metre. Our staff measure your vehicle’s load area using length x width x height when you arrive to calculate the volume. Different waste types have different rates.
Is it cheaper if I sort my waste before I come?
It can be. Separated waste types are generally charged at lower rates than mixed loads, so sorting before you visit may save you money.
Can I bring a trailer?
Yes. We accept cars, utes, car trailers and rigid trucks. We cannot accept truck and dog combinations or semi-trailers.
Is the facility open to the public or just tradies?
Both. Trade customers and members of the general public are welcome.
Are you open on weekends?
Not currently. We’re open Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm.
What if I’m not sure my waste type is accepted?
Call us on 02 4708 2927 before you visit and we’ll confirm over the phone. It takes 30 seconds and can save you a wasted trip.
Can you provide disposal documentation?
We can’t provide individual tipping receipts, as outgoing loads contain material from multiple customers. However, with prior notice, we can arrange a Waste and Recycling Report that details the breakdown of recyclable and landfill material from your tipped load.
