Update on transfer stations - COVID-19

Published on 27 February 2020

• Transfer Stations will remain open within normal operating hours at this stage. Please only visit the transfer station if it is absolutely necessary.

• This service is only available to residents and ratepayers within the West Wimmera Shire. Non-residents may be refused service at the discretion of the attendant. Proof of residency may be required if requested by attendants.

• Strict guidelines regarding health recommendations will apply at all transfer stations to protect our staff and the public. A safe social distance of 1.5 metres is required at all times, and customers are to remain in their vehicles at the main entrance until loads have been inspected.

• Cash will no longer be accepted at any transfer stations. Customer details will be recorded by attendants and accounts will be issued to users on a monthly basis. Existing account holders will operate as normal. Eftpos is not available at transfer stations.

Council requests that you only visit the transfer station if it is absolutely essential. It is recommended that you stay at home as much as possible to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. Please avoid unnecessary visits to the transfer station, as these measures are vital to the continuation of this service.·
