The Hunter JO works to promote Community Recycling Centres (CRCs) to our communities across the region in order to encourage the safe disposal and recycling of household problem wastes that have the potential to become a hazard and risk to the environment and public health.
In addition to our radio campaigns, social media and CRC Brochure, we have developed and promoted a series of bespoke videos highlighting the value of local CRC facilities for the community.
Residents across the Hunter can visit any CRC in the region to safely dispose of household quantities (less 20L or 20kg) of problem wastes, including:
- Paint
- Gas bottles
- Fluoro globes and tubes
- Smoke detectors
- Motor oils and other oils
- Household and car batteries
Some CRCs may also accept other types of waste. Contact your local CRC to find out if any other items are accepted and if any charges apply.
To find your local CRC and learn more about what waste types are accepted, contact your local council or visit the NSW EPA website
