The damage follows a similar incident at Wellington Waste Facility last week that police are investigating.
For the remainder of Tuesday the facility was unable to accept cash but now the Whylandra Waste and Recycling Centre, the Wellington Waste Facility and the rural Transfer Stations are operating as normal.
Council contacted all commercial clients to discuss alternative arrangements.
Work is already underway to undertake required repairs.
Police are still investigating CCTV footage of the break-in.
