Tip Off Time at city’s new Tip Shop
The new and improved Tip Shop at the Gregadoo Waste Management Centre officially opened for business on Saturday 15 May 2021, with plenty of bargains on offer.
The updated shop has been located closer to the main entry gates as part Wagga Wagga City Council’s broader upgrade and redevelopment of the GWMC to meet the needs of our growing city.
Facility Manager Geoff Pym said part of these improvements has involved building a new weighbridge closer to Ashford Road, which is in the final stages of construction.
“The old tip shop location did not fit with the aim of removing saleable items from loads during opening hours prior to their vehicles crossing the weighbridge,” Mr Pym said.
