HOUSEHOLDERS’ ASBESTOS DISPOSAL SCHEME (HADS) IN THE NORTHERN RIVERS, NSW
Welcome to the website of the North East Waste (NE Waste), a group of councils on the North Coast of New South Wales, working together towards cost-effective waste management solutions. The group has a voluntary membership, and aims to achieve the development and implementation of local and regionally based solutions to waste management. The member councils include: Ballina Shire, Byron Shire, Clarence Valley, Lismore City, Kyogle, Richmond Valley and Tweed Shire. North East Waste is a member group of RENEW NSW and is supported by our local Councils and the NSW Environmental Protection Agency.
Drop Off Free at your CRC
Did you know there's a lot more that you can recycle, beyond what goes into your household recycling bin? Problem wastes including paints, oils, gas bottles, batteries, fluro tubes and bulbs and smoke detectors do not belong in your household bins. These items can be dropped off at your local Community Recycling Centre (CRC) for recycling or safe disposal for FREE.
From 01 July two new CRCs are opening on the North Coast: Ballina CRC at Ballina Waste Management Centre, 167 Southern Cross Dr, Ballina and Byron CR at Byron Resource Recovery Centre, 115 The Manse Rd, Myocum. Other CRCs are located at Lismore, Casino, Kyogle, Grafton and Maclean. If you’re a NSW resident you can Drop off Free at any CRC in the region or in fact any CRC in NSW.
Free Love Food Save Money Cooking workshops
for busy parents
Would you love to save more money for your family simply by wasting less food? NSW householders waste more than $2.5 billion of edible food every year, most of which could have been eaten. These free practical workshops will help you to love your food more and waste less through better storage techniques and recreating your leftovers into delicious & nutritious recipes the whole family will enjoy. The workshops are being held in various locations across the region.
New Lismore Recycled Market
Lismore City Council is launching its new Lismore Recycled Market this month, with the first market on Saturday, 19 March. The Lismore Recycled Market will be held on the third Saturday of every month next door to the Lismore Revolve Shop, which is located within the Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre on Wyrallah Road. Stallholders will sell their goods from a series of shipping containers on-site, and the Lismore Revolve Shop will be open so people can browse for second-hand goods. What a great initiative from Lismore City Council! We choose to reuse too!
New Community Recycling Centres at Byron and Ballina 'Now Open' for the free drop off of household problem waste.
