Dunmore Recycling & Waste Disposal - Service Update
The Dunmore Recycling & Waste Disposal Depot is owned and operated by Shellharbour City Council. The community can dispose of their waste, recycling & organics.
Important Update - Community Recycling Centre (CRC) Waste Disposal
Following disruptions caused by a fire at the Cleanaway factory in St Mary’s in February, we are pleased to announce that most Community Recycling Centre (CRC) waste items are now being accepted again at our Dunmore Recycling & Waste Disposal Depot.
However, due to ongoing processing limitations, the following items cannot yet be accepted:
Items currently not accepted:
- Aerosols
- Motor Oils
- Cooking oils
We kindly ask residents to store these items safely at home until we receive further updates from our waste processing contractor.
Safe Storage Advice
The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) recommends storing these items in:
- Clearly labelled containers
- A cool, dry place
- An area out of reach of children and pets
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work towards resuming full waste services.
Is the Dunmore Depot still open for other types of waste disposal?
Yes! Dunmore Recycling and Waste Disposal Depot is still open and operating to our normal hours. You can still drop off general household waste, recycling, batteries and more. If you're not sure, please ask our staff at the weighbridge or call us on 4221 6200.
What do I do in the meantime?
Our facility is already at capacity, and accepting additional materials of this type would pose a fire risk. We ask that residents store their chemical and problem waste at home until we are able to resume collection.The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) recommends storing these items in clearly labelled containers, in a cool, dry place and out of reach of children and pets.
When will the affected recycling services resume?
We’re currently seeking more information from the NSW EPA on when this service will resume. While they work through the next steps, we recommend checking our website before visiting or by calling ahead on 4221 6200, as we’ll keep it you updated with any changes to services.
If you’re able to delay your visit a little longer, that may also be an option. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
