Garden Hose

Garden hoses should be placed in the red lidded general waste bin. Garden hoses are not recyclable and should never be placed in your yellow lidded recycling bin. They can become wrapped around the machinery and cause issues at the Materials Recovery Facility.

Household Chemicals and Cleaners

Household Chemicals are considered hazardous waste and can cause danger if they are placed in any of the domestic (kerbside) bins. These and other wastes are accepted at the Chemical CleanOut held once a year at Council's Works Depot, normally in April. For more information or advice regarding chemicals and problem wastes, please call the EPA Environment Line on 131 555 or visit www.epa.nsw.gov.au. Some agricultural and veterinary chemicals may be eligible for ChemClear. Call 1800 008 182 or visit www.chemclear.com.au for details.  

Hypodermic Needles

Hypodermic needles are considered a hazardous waste and can be extremely dangerous if placed in any domestic bins. If you have a medical condition that requires their use ensure that you dispose of them correctly. Talk to your local pharmacy or visit www.safesharps.org.au to find a disposal site near you.
