Polystyrene drop-off collection day

We are encouraging residents to bring their rigid pieces of 100% clean, white and dry expanded polystyrene (EPS) used for packaging of appliances and electronics to Kimbriki Resource Recovery Centre for recycling on our collection day for free.

This drop off event is now monthly for Northern Beaches residents only.

Domestic quantities only (equivalent to volume of your green vegetation bin, 240L). 

The polystyrene must not be contaminated with dirt, soil, tape, concrete, food, labels, plastic cardboard, ink printing and no bean bag beads to ensure the product can be recycled.

If you can bend the polystyrene and it snaps then it is EPS.

Other items you can bring – free recycling

Once you have left your polystyrene with the staff outside the Hub, take the opportunity to continue downhill where there is a wide range of items you can leave for free, eg e-waste, globes, fluorescent tubes, embedded batteries, household batteries, metal, motor oil.
