Kyogle tip: hours, fees, what you can take

Tip vouchers

One $50 waste voucher per rateable property per year — covers one 7x5 trailer or ute load, or smaller loads to $50; can be used on mattresses or fridges. Cannot combine voucher and cash in one transaction. Proof of residency required for in-LGA pricing; outside-LGA schedule is roughly 1.7x.

Getting there

The Kyogle tip is the Kyogle Landfill Facility on Runnymede Road, five minutes from town. Weekdays it's open 7.30am to 12 noon only; weekends 9am–4pm; closed public holidays and Union Picnic Day. Phone 02 6632 3002. There's a tip shop (run by Kyogle Together) and a Community Recycling Centre on site. Kyogle Council also runs transfer stations at Bonalbo (Wed and Sat 9–4), Mallanganee (Thu and Sun 9–4) and Woodenbong (Tue and Sat 9–4).

The big one: the landfill cell was damaged by Cyclone Alfred in March 2025, and as of late August 2026 the council page still says it's only accepting small household quantities — bins and bags. No bulky household waste (furniture, mattresses-as-bulk, toys, polystyrene, glass, bricks, concrete, timber, tiles) and no commercial loads. Recyclables, green waste, scrap metal, tyres, fridges and CRC items are still taken.

While that stands, a Kyogle shed clean-out has to go to Nammoona at Casino (35 minutes) or Lismore (an hour) — which is exactly the run we do.

Before you go

Kyogle is the only tip in the region that charges by the load rather than the kilo, with a separate (roughly 1.7×) schedule for anyone from outside the LGA. Bring proof of residency for the in-LGA rate. Figures checked August 2026:

• In-LGA general waste: bag $1, 240 L bin $10, sedan or wagon $27, 7x5 ute or trailer $48, 8x5 $73, 10x5 tandem $122, or $292 a tonne for anything bigger.
• Sorted loads (at least half recyclables) get 50% off the load fee. Sorted recyclables or clean rubble $147 a tonne.
• In-LGA green waste: sedan or 7x5 trailer $10, 8x5 $21, 10x5 $42, or $95 a tonne.
• Mattresses (in-LGA): single $21, double $29, queen or king $34.
• Fridges and whitegoods (in-LGA): free.
• Car tyres: $16 each.
• Outside the LGA: bag $2, 7x5 trailer $80, 10x5 $204, $418 a tonne, double mattress $42.
• Free: clean scrap metal, whitegoods and air-conditioners (residents), e-waste, oil and paint up to 20 L, batteries, gas bottles, smoke detectors, fluoro bulbs, fire extinguishers, and a household asbestos test kit for residents.
• Voucher: one $50 waste voucher per rateable property per year — covers one 7x5 trailer or ute load, or smaller loads up to $50, and can be used on a mattress or fridge. Can't be combined with cash in one transaction. Excludes asbestos, hazardous waste and dead animals.

Kyogle has no kerbside bulky-waste collection.

What a trailer load costs here

This is the cheapest gate in the region if you live in Kyogle Shire and the load is allowed in. A level 6x4 trailer of general household rubbish — call it 350 kg — is a flat $48 as a "small ute or trailer" load, whatever it weighs (checked August 2026). Sort it so half is recyclable and it's $24. Green waste in the same trailer is $10. Hand over your $50 voucher and the whole general-waste trailer is covered.

From outside the shire, the same trailer is $80.

The catch is the bulky-waste restriction: right now a trailer of old furniture isn't accepted here at all, and the nearest gate that takes it is Nammoona at about $124–142 a trailer plus 70 minutes' driving each way. That's the honest comparison. It's from $170 and we do it — both of us, all the loading, the drive to whichever tip will take it, tip fee included, priced on site in front of you.
