All commercial medium and heavy rigid vehicles or above will now need to enter via the weighbridge. Medium rigids with undersized green waste will pay upon entry. Heavy rigids will need to enter and exit via the weighbridge.

All commercial light rigid trucks will now need to enter via the weighbridge. If they are carrying undersized green waste they will pay upon entry.

All vehicles with oversized green waste will continue to enter and exit via the weighbridge.

5. Where do I go after passing over the weighbridge?

When you pass over the weighbridge you will be given a pass to give to the green waste inspector once you are at the green waste drop off pad. Once the green waste inspector has approved your load as clean and undersized you are able to leave the facility without passing over the weighbridge again.

If the green waste inspector has classified your load as oversized, contaminated or you drive a heavy rigid vehicle or above you will need to proceed back to the weighbridge and pay for your load.

6. Will there be any additional changes to the traffic flow?

Additional signage will be displayed at the Mugga Lane Weighbridge prior to the 1st December to help visitors become familiar with the minor traffic management changes before the commercial charges begin. These signs will guide customers to queue to the righthand side of the weighbridge upon entry so they do not block the main driveway to the facility.

Heavy rigid vehicles and above or those with oversized green waste will need to pass over the weighbridge after tipping at the green waste pad. Our weighbridge is 2-way giving these vehicles the option of exiting via the same way they entered, or turning around in the landscape yard and exiting from the rear of the weighbridge.

7. What types of payments will be accepted?

We only accept card or account payments. Cash is not accepted.
