The Wingecarribee Shire Council Community Recycling Centre is a fantastic centre for residents to recycle many common items and is located at the Moss Vale Resource Recovery Centre.
CRCs are drop-off centres for common ‘household problem wastes’ such as paints, oils and batteries, that can’t be collected via council kerbside waste and recycling collection services.
New and enhanced Community Recycling Centres are being established across NSW. At these centres, NSW householders can drop off a range of problem wastes free of charge.
Located at the Resource Recovery Centre, 177 Berrima Road, Moss Vale.
The Wingecarribee CRC is open when the Resource Recovery Centre is open.
Residents can drop off a wide range of materials as well as problem household goods. This includes:
- Bread Tags(PDF, 138KB)

Small everyday household items can be a pain to recycle, but at Council will have made this easier for you.
You can now drop off the following items at the CRC for FREE!
- Oral care - including toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes and caps, electric toothbrush heads and floss containers
- Writing equipment - including pens, highlighters, markers and white out
We recommend households collect a box, bag or jar of these items at home and drop them off at the CRC when it is full.
This is a great way to reduce waste going to landfill and increase recycling within the Shire.
Problem Waste Drop-off Stations are for Wingecarribee Shire Council residents to safely dispose of household problem waste items that are not allowed in the Council provided kerbside bins, including the red, yellow and green bin. Problem Waste Drop-off stations offer a free and easy solution for the disposal of common household problem wastes
You can drop off:
These items if disposed of incorrectly can cause fires and be harmful to human health and the environment. It is important that these items are disposed of correctly, to reduce contamination, divert waste from landfill and protect the environment and human health.
You can find this Drop-Off Station at:
- Welcome Centre - outside the building under the veranda
- Civic Centre - Right next to the main entrance
Stay tuned for more locations to be added!
