Bega Valley, NSW gathers hazardous materials from local neighborhoods with Mobile Recycling Centre

Bega Valley, NSW Mobile Recycling Centre Hazardous Gather

Bega Valley uses a repurposed trailer as a collection vehicle for scheduled visits through the shire. Residents drop off batteries, solvents, and other hazardous items at the trailer for delivery to the main Community Recycling Centre. Council staffers identify recycling streams for each item including disassembling batteries for parts and fueling cement production with repurposed paint. The free program gained importance during COVID-19 due to increases in household waste.
