Recycle It Saturday makes it easy for residents to recycle tricky household items.
Recycle It Saturday is a partnership between City of Sydney, Waverley Council and Woollahra Municipal Council.
We can only accept items from residents who live in these local council areas. This map shows the City of Sydney boundaries. We’ll ask for your address on the day.
We can’t accept items from businesses.
Before you arrive, group items into different boxes or bags. We recommend reusing old cardboard boxes, which you can leave with us for recycling. Pack these in your boot, backseat or trailer so we can easily remove them.
If you’re a building manager or have a lot of items
Contact us to discuss quantities for drop-off
This is a drive-through event. Stay in your seat. Our team will unpack your vehicle for you and get you on your way faster.
If you’re walking or riding a bike, you can access a separate drop-off area at the end of the driveway.
To ensure you don’t drop off anything by accident, be specific when telling our team which bags or boxes they should take from your boot, backseat or trailer. Or better yet, ensure your vehicle is only packed with items you’ve brought to drop off.
If you're a resident in the City of Sydney, Waverley or Woollahra local council areas, print this poster in A4 or A3 size and display it in your apartment building or share it with your neighbours.
When you drop off clothes and toys, they are resold and reused. Some electronics are repaired or refurbished, with data wiping, before being resold. All other items you drop off are for recycling only.
If your items are still in working condition, try to find a new home for your household items first. You could give them away to someone who needs it or try advertising online through Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree, Trading Post, Ebay, Freecycle or Rosella Street. Follow these tips to learn how to sell your stuff online fast.
