Community Recycling Centre

IMG_9884.jpg

We are constructing an additional Community Recycling Facility at Floraville Road, Belmont North to improve access to recycling drop-off services in Lake Macquarie.

The Community Recycling Centre, located at the Awaba Waste Management Facility, is a safe way to dispose of problem household waste, free of charge.

Due to a fire at the processing facility in Sydney, the following problem wastes cannot temporarily be accepted at Awaba Community Recycling Centre:

  • Embedded batteries
  • Aerosols

Residents are advised to store these items safely until services are fully back up and running again.

However, you can still dispose of the following wastes:

  • Motor oil
  • Paints (water and oil based)
  • Other oils (coolants, cooking oil etc)
  • Gas cylinders (no LPG cylinders from cars)
  • Fire extinguishers
  • Fluorescent light globes and tubes
  • Household batteries and light globes
  • Smoke detectors
  • X-rays
  • Comingled recyclables
  • Cardboard
  • Polystyrene (EPS)
  • Soft plastics
  • Car batteries
  • E-waste

Please wear enclosed shoes when visiting the facility.

Community Recycling Stations at Lake Mac Libraries, the Works Depot and Landcare have reopened.

The Community Recycling Centre is a NSW EPA Waste Less, Recycle More initiative, funded by the Waste Levy.
