TIPPING ACCOUNTS

The following conditions apply to tipping accounts for use of Council's waste transfer stations:

1. The applicant is to provide vehicle registration numbers of all vehicles authorised to incur charges for depositing waste at Council's waste transfer stations. Alternatively, all authorised vehicles depositing waste are to clearly display company signage. Where the applicant chooses to provide vehicle registration numbers as the means of identifying authorised vehicles, changes to the authorised vehicle registration numbers are to be notified to Council prior to using the facility, otherwise delays in obtaining authorisation for the vehicle at the waste transfer station may occur.
2. Drivers of vehicles are to sign a tipping docket at the time of depositing waste at the transfer station. Drivers will be given a copy of the tipping docket to retain. In signing the tipping docket, drivers are accepting on behalf of the applicant that the classification and quantity of waste being deposited is correct. It is up to the driver at the time to raise any questions in relation to the type and quantity of waste recorded as being deposited.
3. The applicant agrees to pay all charges incurred by the driver of an authorised vehicle and cannot dispute the type and quantity of waste included on a tipping docket signed by the driver.
4. Sundry debtor accounts are to be paid in full within 30 days of the end of each month.
5. Under Chain of Responsibility law, all parties in the supply chain must take reasonable steps to prevent breaches of Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL). If an authorised vehicle has a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of 4.5 tonnes or more, it is recognised as a heavy vehicle, and the applicant is required to provide the GVM and configuration details for the vehicle. The details can be found on the vehicle registration papers.
