Community Recycling affected by fire

Wingecarribee Shire Council advises residents that the Community Recycling Centre (CRC) and Mobile CRC are temporarily unable to accept gas bottles and paint.

This is due to capacity limitations caused by the Cleanaway factory fire in St Mary’s, which
has disrupted waste processing at multiple Community Recycling Centres and Household
Chemical CleanOut events across NSW.

Impacted Services:

• Community Recycling Centre & Resource Recovery Centre – No acceptance of gas
  bottles and all paint types.
• Mobile Community Recycling Centre – No acceptance of gas bottles and all paint
  types.
  Important Information for Residents:
• Until services resume, residents are advised to store household problem waste
  safely in clearly labelled containers, in a cool, dry place, away from children and
  pets.
• Other household problem waste items are still being accepted at the CRC as
  usual.
• The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) is working with Cleanaway to
  resolve the issue, with the next update expected by 24 February 2025.
