Resale Shops

We have Resale Shops at our Transfer Stations at Carisbrook, Dunolly and Talbot.

Our Resale Shops recycle quality items which were destined to become landfill.

Items are intercepted and diverted to be reused as saleable products in our resale shops.

Items for sale in our resale shops include:

  • Household items and furnishings
  • Collectables
  • Books and toys
  • Sporting equipment and more

About Council's Transfer Stations  

Central Goldfields Shire Council operates four transfer stations - Carisbrook, Talbot, Dunolly and Bealiba. 

Council’s Transfer Stations are for the deposit of waste, recycling, green waste and recoverable materials.

Waste that can’t be reused or recycled is transferred from these transfer stations to the Patho landfill at Echuca. 

The transfer stations are available for deposit of domestic quantities of waste materials only.

This means the Transfer Stations are unable to take commercial quantities of waste e.g. builders rubble, as it is transported to another site.

Waste loads are limited to trucks/trailers of less than three cubic metres in volume.

To help us recycle, please load your trailer to allow separation of green waste and recyclables from other waste. Recyclable materials can be deposited free of charge.

Our policy is to recycle all we can, to reduce what is sent to landfill.

Remember to cover and secure your load.

All Central Goldfields Shire Transfer Stations have material recovery capabilities. Customers can purchase deposited items that are reusable and the Carisbrook Transfer Station has a resale shop displaying all items for sale.

Locations and opening hours:

Our four Transfer Stations are supervised during the hours of operation to separate recyclables, collect fees and waste vouchers, and for site management. All customers are required to follow the directions of our attendants.
