Community Recycling Stations
Community Recycling Stations (CRS) are small cabinets generally placed at libraries and council facilities such as community centres, to allow for the convenient and free drop-off of small quantities of common household problem wastes.
What can be dropped off at these stations?
- Fluoro globes
- Ink cartridges
- Household batteries
Council will transport the materials collected to the larger Community Recycling Centre at Cooma Landfill or Jindabyne Landfill.
The small problem waste items will be recycled and/or safely disposed. This improves our recycling rates and keeps potentially hazardous materials from entering our environment.
Community Recycling Stations
Community Recycling Stations are located at:
- Cooma Library Cooma and Berridale Council Offices
- Bombala Community Centre
- Jindabyne Mitre 10
- Michelago Bank of Bins
