Nearest tip
Townsville City Council's Stuart Waste Facility at 24 Vantassel Street, Stuart, is its largest site, a landfill and transfer station open Monday to Sunday 6:30am to 5:45pm. All council waste facilities are closed on Good Friday and Christmas Day. Asbestos is accepted at Stuart only, between 7:30am and 3pm, sealed and double-wrapped in plastic at least 0.2 mm thick, up to 175 kg per load, and you must tell the gatehouse. The Hervey Range Resource Recovery Centre on Hervey Range Road takes small loads only and no asbestos. Check the Townsville City Council website for fees and accepted items.
Council rules
A skip wholly on your own land generally doesn't need approval. In the road reserve, check with Townsville City Council first. See the permit guide.
