WYLANDRA WASTE CENTRE

ROAD LINE MARKINGS Reader’s question:

“Is it possible to remove the line markings westbound on Cobra Street which indicate traffic should merge into one lane just before the Palmer Street left hand turn off, so traffic turning left can do so legally without feeling like it has to merge right first into the traffic flow, only to then immediately leave it again to turn left? It’s an ideal tributary to get to the Dubbo College South Campus (and) to take traffic away from the Cobra and Fitzroy Street roundabout which is jammed with traffic on school mornings, but the forced merging actually slows traffic flow.”

Council response:

While line marking on Cobra

Reader’s question:

“I have heard certain items can be dropped to the Whylandra Waste and Recycling Centre for free, but entry to the tip can cost $29. I have things to recycle, could you please advise what to expect when I get there?”

Council response:

A full list of fees and charges for the Whylandra Waste and Recycling Centre is available on Council’s website or by contacting Council on 6801 4000. A range of items can be disposed of without charge including domestic e-waste, car batteries, whitegoods, scrap metal, household recyclables and used motor oil.
