July 2009e-Waste Collection Day and Sump Oil Recycling StationSaturday 4 July, 9am - 3pm Do you have used motor oil at home and need to dispose of it?

All brands of e-waste will be accepted and safely disposed of through Council’s event recycling partner, PGM Refiners, who operate an environmentally friendly process which diverts this waste from landfill. For a full list of products that are accepted and not accepted, please click here. The e-waste event is open to Marrickville LGA residents only; the sump oil trailer is open to everybody.
