Recycle It Saturday is a partnership between City of Sydney, Waverley and Woollahra councils. We can only accept items from residents of these council areas. The below maps show the City of Sydney, Waverley and Woollahra boundaries. We'll ask for your address on the day.
- City of Sydney boundaries: https://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/areas-of-service

This is a drive-through event. We'll unpack your vehicle for you.
Separate your items into different boxes or bags so we can easily remove them from your vehicle. We recommend recyclable cardboard boxes.
People walking or cycling can access a separate drop-off area.
