Residents are also required to separate building waste, green waste, steel and putrescible waste at the Landfills. Appropriate signage is provided at these facilities.
Also, residents are reminded that used motor vehicle tyres must be taken to the Lithgow Landfill and scavenging is not permitted at Councils Landfills. Persons found scavenging will be subject to an on-the-spot-fine.
Proposed Central Waste Facility
As current landfills are nearing the end of their life, Council has commissioned an Environmental impact Statement for the development of a new Central Waste Facility on the site of the old Western Main Colliery at Blackmans Flat. The EIS is only concerned with the disposal of waste that is generated from within the boundaries of the Lithgow Local Government Area.
Upon the approval and operation of this facility, all landfills will close. However it may be necessary to close some landfills prior to its operation.
Transfer Stations
Council currently operates three transfer stations at the following locations. Only household domestic waste is able to be disposed of at these facilities.

Rydal/Hampton Road, Hampton - Access to this facility is restricted and can only be gained via a key pedestrian gate. |
