Residents in Newcastle can now dispose of damaged items and storm debris at the tip without paying the waste levy.

 

The NSW Government has waived the waste levy fee for six weeks to support communities impacted by recent severe thunderstorms as they rebuild and recover.


“It’s been a challenging few days for many of us in the community. Lifting the waste levy will provide some relief for Novocastrians impacted by last week’s severe weather." Says Tim Crakanthorp MP, State Member for Newcastle.

This assistance aims to speed up recovery efforts and reduce financial pressures on households and businesses.


The waiver covers storm-related waste on public and private land, including damaged building materials, furniture, carpet, garden debris, food waste and other items.


The exemption is backdated to 15 January 2025 and will remain in place until 28 February 2025. Requests for extensions will be considered on a case-by-case basis.


Landfill operators may still charge their landfill operation charge also known as the gate fee or tip fee.
