Drop off for FREE at your CRC
Community Recycling Centres (CRC) have been designed to collect and appropriately dispose of ‘household problem wastes’. Most components are recycled!
By using CRCs, you will:
- Save money – it’s free!
- Keep our workers safe
- Reduce waste to landfill
- Support a safer and cleaner environment
The items listed on the right are accepted at Community Recycling Centres in NSW.
Only household quantities of the materials listed on the right will be accepted. As a guide a maximum container of 20 litres or 20 kilograms for each of the wastes listed is appropriate.
Depending on which Community Recycling Centre you visit, other waste materials can also be dropped off for reuse, recycling or safe disposal.

SMALL ITEMS, STORAGE and transport
Community Recycling Stations (CRS) make it easier for you to drop off small items such as batteries and smoke detectors. When you only have small items it’s not always practical or convenient to visit your local CRC. Instead you can set up easy and safe storage at home and ‘stow until you can go’ to make the most of your next trip to the CRC.
Handle and transport your materials carefully and safely. Protect your vehicle by placing items on a protective sheet or tray in the boot to capture any leaks or breaks.
Remember, please do not put these items in your red, yellow or green bin – they can cause harm to the people who help sort your waste and recycling.
