Disposal fees
From Wednesday 25 March, Mount Vincent Waste Management Centre will no longer accept cash payments. This will minimise hand to hand contact and is for the safety of our people and the community.
The Waste Management Centre remains open 8.15am to 4.00pm every day (closed Good Friday and Christmas Day), for commercial waste and for Maitland City Council residents only with proof of residential address required for entry.
In addition, our Community Recycling Centre (CRC) located within the facility will only now accept steel, vegetation, timber, tyres and e-waste to protect our people and the community. Further information on what is no longer accepted at the CRC can be found on Council’s website.
