Recycling
If you don’t have access to our kerbside recycling service or for items that will not fit in the recycling wheelie bin, dedicated recycling skip bins are located at our 9 waste management centres throughout the region. Simply look for the designated skip bin at your local landfill or Challenge Recycling at Tamworth Waste Management Facility.
Council also provides opportunities to recycle mobile phones, as well as printer, fax and photocopier ink and toner cartridges. Collection bins are located at Council offices and the Tamworth Waste Management Facility.
For the safe disposal of chemicals we offer the annual Household Chemical Clean-Out - for traditional household and garden chemicals.
