Waste and recycling facilities

Brisbane City Council operates four resource recovery centres (previously known as transfer stations), tip shops and a landfill site. These facilities help manage the waste and recycling needs of the city.

Council has four resource recovery centres with waste and recycling facilities. Brisbane residents can drop off recyclables for free and any general waste and green waste for the cost of a waste voucher or a fee.

Council’s two Treasure Troves (formerly known as tip shops) are open every weekend and sell quality used, recycled and second-hand products salvaged before going to landfill.

Council has one world-class, engineered landfill site at Rochedale, where waste from Brisbane residents is buried if it can't be recycled or reused. Waste is taken from the disposal area at each resource recovery centre to the landfill site.
