Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, recycling and waste centres are still operating but with some restrictions. Please contact the centre prior to visiting to confirm their operating hours and accepted materials. Please follow the current advice from the Government regarding restrictions and consider whether your trip is necessary.
About the centres
These tips and recycling centres are all located in Melbourne's Greater Eastern Region.
Most are open 7 days a week. Visit websites or phone ahead to check opening hours, confirm what items are accepted at the facility, and what charges apply.
