Safely Disposing of Your Household Waste

At CopperRock Recycling Centre, we're passionate about delivering effective and efficient solutions to waste disposal that helps everyone in our community. In fact, it's our mission to correctly recycle and dispose of your household waste.
Some products require particular care when disposing of to ensure they're discarded safely and correctly. We ask that you please separate your waste when loading your car or trailer according to our categories; General Waste, E-Waste, Green Waste, Soils, Rubble and Recycling.
Some common sorting mistakes we see include:
Battery Disposal

When bringing your waste batteries to CopperRock, they must be separated from your waste and easily identified within your vehicle or trailer. It is against EPA Law to put batteries into hard waste, so they need to be disposed of in our dedicated bins. If batteries are thrown into the rubbish pit or our machines run over them it can cause fire, burns to our team and other harm to humans and the environment. Please ensure you remove batteries from all your E-Waste, including toys, radio's and smoke alarms, and place them in the waste battery bins.
LPG Gas Bottle Disposal

Gas Bottles are hazardous waste and need to be placed in the designated Class 2 cages. The metal from Gas Bottles is recycled once the cylinder has been decommissioned, however, this process happens offsite in specialist centres. If Gas Bottles are placed in the steel recycling bins still containing gas, there is potential for an explosion or for the cylinder to rocket into the air causing environmental and personal harm.
