Wollert landfill (for Whittlesea)
The City of Whittlesea doesn't run a tip. It sends residents to the privately run Heidelberg Materials landfill on Bridge Inn Road, Wollert, phone 03 9408 1299. The council and the operator list different opening hours, so call before you go.
- Whittlesea residents get a yearly set of disposal vouchers: one general waste, four green waste, four timber and two brick and rubble. Bring the voucher and ID with a Whittlesea address.

Before you load up
- Separate it at home: metal, e-waste and green waste are cheaper or free when they're not mixed in with rubbish.
- Cover and strap your load. Things falling off a trailer count as littering.
- Hume's resident vouchers can't be used for commercial loads, even with the resident's OK.
