Boats
|
|
We accept boats at City landfill sites at a rate of $110 per tonne. When you bring a boat to the landfill you must make sure the fuel tank is empty. If you can't provide physical evidence that the boat has no fuel in it the boat will not be accepted at the landfill site.
You can prove the boat is empty of fuel in one of three ways:
- Drill a hole in the bottom of the fuel tank before going to the landfill;
- Remove the fuel tank from the boat;
- Ask the landfill attendant to dip the tank with a stick.
Emptying boats of fuel before arriving at the landfill protects the personal safety of landfill attendants and prevents environmental contamination.
