Community Recycling Centre

What is a Community Recycling 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.

Only household quantities of these materials will be accepted. As a guide, this is a maximum container of 20 litres or 20 kilograms for each of the wastes listed above.

Handle and transport your items carefully. Protect your vehicle by placing items on a protective sheet or tray in the boot to capture any leakages or breakages.

We recommend households collect a box, bag or jar of these items at home and drop them off at the CRC once it is full. This is a great way to reduce waste going to landfill and increase recycling within the Shire.

Mobile Community Recycling Centre - Visiting a town near you!

The Mobile Community Recycling Centre (MCRC) is here to make recycling easy and accessible for residents in the Wingecarribee Shire. Our mobile service visits various locations within Wingecarribee Shire, so you can dispose of problem waste without the hassle. Not all waste belongs in your red bin; there are some problem waste items that never break down in landfills and can be recycled.
