DO NOT DUMP ITEMS
We have had a number of cases where items for recycling are dumped at our premises or left in the letterbox.
PLEASE TALK TO STAFF BEFORE LEAVING ANY ITEMS WITH US.
There is usually a $5 minimum/handling fee. Many items have low scrap value and also require processing for achieving a good environmental outcome.

Volunteers wanted
