This award-winning community event offers a fantastic opportunity for families to responsibly recycle items that are often too small or problematic for kerbside bins. It's a great way to teach children about sustainability and waste reduction in a hands-on, practical setting.
At this monthly drop-off, you can bring a variety of tricky-to-recycle items including plastic bottle tops, bread tags, can clips, contact lens cases, and more. The event also accepts steel and aluminium bottle tops, corks, metal keys, oral care waste, pens, markers, razors, medicinal asthma inhalers, and blister packs (fees apply). A Give Write donation box is available for contributions. Batteries, light bulbs, phones, and chargers can also be recycled at the on-site recycling hub.
- Held monthly from February to January the following year.
- Time: 09:00 to 11:00.
- No bookings required; drop in at your convenience.
- Free entry with a gold coin donation appreciated.
The event takes place at the City of Melville EcoHub, located at 555 Leach Highway, Winthrop WA 6150. The venue is accessible by car with parking available nearby. It’s a convenient spot for local families to bring their recycling and learn more about sustainable waste management.
Please start collecting your recyclable items at home in separate containers to make drop-off quick and easy. Note that medicinal blister packs may incur a fee. Batteries and hazardous waste can also be dropped off year-round at designated locations like B-cycle points and Household Hazardous Waste facilities. This event supports community efforts to reduce landfill waste and promote environmental responsibility.
No booking is necessary to attend this event. It is free to participate, though a gold coin donation is greatly appreciated to help support the ongoing community recycling initiatives. This makes it an accessible and valuable resource for families wanting to contribute to a greener future.
