    Hi Xige

    TSIRC are not a rates based council. Instead, there are household waste management charges https://portal.lgsolutions.net.au/Fees/Public/TSIRC

    Seaswift operates 40-foot (12m × 2.4m × 2.6m) containers on their barge service. You can assume tonnage of compacted waste able to be transported in this.

    You can assume $4,500 shipping cost for that container for transport back to the mainland (you can also work out your $/tonnage rate).

    EWB respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners and First Peoples of the countries in which we work. We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past and present, and know that this land was never ceded.
    EWB acknowledges the support of the Australian Government through the Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP).
