TRIAL OPENING HOURS - DAYLIGHT SAVINGS PERIOD FROM TUESDAY 26 DECEMBER 2023 - SATURDAY 6 APRIL 2024
*E-waste disposal facilities - $7 disposal fee for TVs, computer screens. All other electrical items are $3.
Council will be completing a trial period to change the transfer station operating hours over the daylight savings period. The trial schedule will commence on Boxing Day, Tuesday 26 December 2023 and will continue until the end of daylight savings on Saturday 6 April 2024.
All opening times have been moved to the mornings, where possible on the same day as the existing schedule. By moving the hours to the morning it will reduce the need for staff and the public to be exposes to extreme heat conditions in the afternoon of summer.
With the random nature of Total Fire Bans Days there was the potential that some communities would not have access to a transfer station for a week or two. Where scheduled to open in the morning on a Total Fire Ban Day the transfer stations will only open for 2 hours.
NEW OPENING HOURS - EFFECTIVE FROM SUNDAY APRIL 7 2024
Operating hours and days for waste transfer stations in Yarriambiack Shire Council will be changing in April. Following community feedback, we’re making transfer stations safer and more accessible by changing some operating hours and days from Sunday April 7th.
We thank the community for their feedback in relation to the Trial Transfer Station Daylight Savings Operating Hours.
The feedback received indicated the community was happy with morning operating hours. However, the same timetable all year round to reduce confusion was preferred as was an afternoon session available on the weekends.
Based on the communities feedback, as from Sunday 7 April we wish to implement permanent transfer station operating hours across the Shire as follows:
Warracknabeal: Monday – Closed, Tuesday to Saturday 8am to 12 noon and Sunday 10am to 2pm
Hopetoun: Tuesday and Thursday 8am to 12noon, Sunday 10am to 2pm.
Patchewollock, Speed/Tempy, Beulah and Woomelang will remain unchanged, continuing to operate on the Daylight Savings model as a permanent arrangement.
Murtoa: Tuesday and Friday 8am to 12noon, Sunday 10am to 2pm. Please note change of day, from Thursday to Friday, along with change to opening ours on Sunday.
Minyip: Wednesday 9am – 12pm and Sunday 8am to 11am
Rupanyup: Thursday 9am – 12pm and 9am to 12pm
Noting, that on days of total fire ban, transfer stations will only be open for the first 2 hours of the day. (e.g. 8am to 10am).
