Community Recycling Centres - Northern Inland Regional Waste

Community Recycling Centres, known as CRCs, are permanent drop-off centres for common household problem wastes that can’t be collected via the council kerbside system.

CRC Small Drop-Off Stations – convenient access to dispose of small items such as fluoro globes, batteries, smoke detectors and more.

CRC Problem Waste Storage Box – a useful DIY@home kit to store your household problem waste until you can drop off items at your CRC.

What can I take to a Community Recycling Centre?

The following problem waste items are accepted at CRCs across our region:

Most items that are accepted at CRCs can be reused or recycled. This helps to improve our regional recycling rates, as well as saves water, energy and other valuable natural resources.
All residents in the New England North West region can drop off problem wastes at their local CRC all year round, free of charge.
Only household quantities will be accepted. Maximum container of 20L or 20kg for each waste type.
Some CRCs may accept other types of waste. Contact your local CRC to find out if other items are accepted and if any charges apply.
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.
