Additional information: Thank you for supporting Kurrajong Recycling and contributing to building the circular economy.

Before dropping off materials please phone ahead as the market is currently very variable which effects what we can recycle. Ph: 6925 5004.

Unfortunately we currently cannot take soft plastic packaging, plastic bags, plastic film and strapping as there is no market for these plastics. If these products are delivered to Kurrajong Recycling we then pay the transport costs and Gregadoo Waste Management Centre fees for them to go to landfill. Note that we cannot change the Containers and Packaging option on the list until 2019 as Planet Ark is updating their website so currently unable to make this amendment.

However, we can take the following containers:

- PET (Plastic ID Code No.1) e.g soft-drink bottles

- HDPE (Plastic ID Code No. 2) e.g. milk, juice, cream and coloured bottles . Please remove lids from milk bottles and place in red-lid bin

- PP (Plastic ID Code No. 5) e.g. ice cream containers and lids

- milk and juice cartons and boxes e.g. long-life milk and fruit-juice boxes

- glass bottles and jars (no glass ovenware, drinking glasses, window or windscreen glass as they have a different melting point and if mixed with other glass will ruin the recycling process when batches are melted). Remove lids from glass jars and aerosol cans and place in yellow-lid bin

- aluminium, steel and aerosol cans

- aluminium foil if clean and squashed into a ball (with a minimum size of a very large orange) so the machinery can remove it - flat sheets and small amounts cannot be sorted by the eddy current.

We currently cannot take household appliances but we can recycle: computers and computer accessories,TVs, printers and mobile phones.

Please note the conditions on the following items:
Electrical cables - from computers
Electrical cables - if removed from electrical items

Items that should be dropped off at our Chaston Street site and NOT delivered through the yellow-lid recycling bin (as the materials will damage or become stuck in our machinery, may become entangled with other materials, are heavy to lift from a moving conveyor belt, may contain batteries and pose a fire risk) include:
- computers and accessories
- printers
- televisions
- mobile phones
- electrical cables
- vehicle batteries (lead acid)
- shredded paper (bagged)

For household recycling: please only recycle clean household items from your kitchen, bathroom, laundry or office. It is important to leave items loose as recycling items tied up in a plastic bag cannot be processed and goes to landfill.

Check Wagga Wagga City Council's 'A-Z Guide' for more recycling options on their website.
