Gosford City Council - Waste and Recycling

The Council also operates a landfill and transfer station for the disposal or recycling of additional domestic waste, business waste, green waste and hazardous materials.

Waste Services are also responsible for On Site Sewerage Management and controls for Site Waste Management (DCP 106) for properties in the Gosford local government area.
