Recycling Hubs

A recycling hub is a designated location where individuals can drop off various types of waste that are not typically accepted in standard kerbside recycling bins. The hubs help communities reduce landfill waste by providing specialised collection services for items that are difficult to recycle.

Operators of recycling hubs often team up with specialised recycling programs and organisations to ensure collected materials are properly processed and reused. The hubs feature organised compartments for sorting specific types of waste, making it easy for community members to dispose of items.

In addition to collecting recyclables, the hubs are a great way to educate the community about correct recycling practices and to encourage behavioural change towards waste management.

Individual recycling hubs may collect different items, so it is important to check what exactly can be disposed of before you arrive.

Generally, larger scale hubs accept items such as:

• household batteries
• mobile phones and accessories
• printer toners and cartridges
• fluorescent light globes and tubes
• bread tags
• oral care products
• CDs and DVDs
• eyeglasses
• Nespresso aluminium coffee pods
