Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre fees and charges
As the operator of a licensed waste disposal facility, we are required to pay the waste levy to the State Government on anything that goes to our landfill. This influences the cost of items and why items that must be sent to landfill incur a higher charge than other items that can be reused or recycled.
