At our new place we don't have a regular council garbage collection service. So every few weeks (or whenever the pile in the shed gets big enough) we make a trip to the tip, or more accurately the waste transfer station. I did wonder why it is located on a nice riverside spot just south of Huonville, but perhaps that's how the waste gets transported? Recyclables go into one dump, and non-recyclables into another. There's also a big pile of electronic waste - old computers, TVs and so on. Seeing these heaps certainly makes me think twice about buying packaged goods and what can be reused or recycled. It costs about $5 to dump a small car load of rubbish where the recyclables are separated.
