This award-winning community event is perfect for families wanting to responsibly recycle items that are too small or problematic for your kerbside bin. Bring your tricky-to-recycle plastics, metals, and household waste for safe disposal.
You'll find a friendly atmosphere where you can drop off items like plastic bottle tops, bread tags, metal lids, and even medicinal blister packs. It's a great way to teach children about sustainability and recycling.
Volunteers and staff are on hand to guide you through the process and answer any questions about recycling and waste reduction.
The event runs monthly from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM on selected Saturdays throughout 2026 and early 2027. No bookings are necessary, making it easy to fit into your weekend plans.
Accepted items include:
- Plastic bottle tops, bread tags, can clips, contact lens cases, straws, soy sauce fish, tripper pumps
- Steel and aluminium bottle tops and lids, aluminium can ring pulls
- Corks, metal keys, oral care waste (household amounts)
- Pens, markers, highlighters, disposable razors
- Medicinal asthma inhalers and blister packs (fees apply)
