The Tuncurry Waste Management Centre will no longer accept heavy vehicles from 17 March.
This change is necessary due to legislated requirements to remediate the site's former landfill sections, which have been used for green waste and concrete storage.
Since the landfill’s closure in 2022, the Tuncurry facility has only accepted heavy vehicles delivering scrap metal, green waste, and concrete. However, with limited storage capacity and ongoing site remediation, all heavy vehicle access will now be redirected to the Taree Waste Management Centre at 6843 The Bucketts Way, Tinonee 2430.
This change will not affect vehicles driven under a Class C licence. These smaller vehicles can continue to deliver bricks, concrete, green waste and other forms of waste to the Tuncurry Transfer Station.
