At some stage, most Australian households store potentially hazardous materials such as batteries, paints, chemicals, and gas bottles. Whilst these items are restricted from Roadside Collection, the EPA and Local Councils are increasingly encouraging residents to attend Community Recycling Centres. These centres ensure this problem waste can be safely deposited, and where possible, recycled.
As community awareness and demand increases, the efficiency of these centres is key.
The Bulk E-waste Station is designed for Community Recycling Centres to provide clear diversion streams for smaller problem waste items, which can then be efficiently managed with minimal manual handling.
