Flooding and Covid-19

  • Most Community Recycling Centres are open, but may be subject to restrictions due to flooding or Covid-19 impacting logistics and servicing. Please call or check with your local Council for up-to-date information and operating hours prior to your visit.
  • Household Chemical CleanOut events are also subject to change. Please check the table below for the latest event information and double check prior to the event in case of any changes.

Please safely store your household problem waste in clearly labelled containers, in a cool dry place away from children and pets until you can visit a CRC or CleanOut event. Thank you for your patience.

Common household problems wastes, including fluorescent lights, smoke detectors, paint, gas bottles, fire extinguishers, batteries and oils, can now be taken to your local Community Recycling Centre throughout the year.

If there is no Community Recycling Centre in your area, you can take these items and others to a Chemical CleanOut event.

These services adhere to NSW Government advice and protocols. Before you attend a Chemical CleanOut event, please place all materials in the rear of your vehicle. On arrival, remain in your vehicle and our contractor will collect your items. Contractors onsite will be wearing personal protective equipment and following social distancing measures.
