Waste & recycling

Bin collection services

Urban residents have a three bin waste collection service. The green waste bin, red landfill bin and yellow recycling bin are provided as part of our commitment to reducing waste.

Byron Resource Recovery Centre

By separating your problem waste and taking items to your local community recycling centre, you are helping to improve recycling, reduce waste to landfill and you are actively looking after your local environment.     

Waste education programs

We are committed to reducing the amount of waste going into landfill and resource recovery through a range of education programs and initiatives.

Asbestos removal and disposal

As a homeowner, you need to know what asbestos is and what precautions you must take if you are planning to renovate or make repairs around your home.

Recycling

Find out what you can and can't recycle, what to do with e-waste and how to manage recycling at events.

Illegal dumping and litter

Illegal dumping and litter have social, financial and environmental implications. Byron Shire Council is working to reduce the effects through community education, enforcement and better infrastructure.

Return and Earn

Each year, 160 million drink containers are littered in NSW. It costs a lot to clean up and it hurts our environment. Now you can do your bit to help by returning eligible drink containers for a 10 cent refund at the Cavanbah Centre.

#RecycleRight

Recycling in our region has changed due to the impact of the Chinese Government’s National Sword policy. We all need to Recycle Right to protect our recycling industry and ensure our recycling will continue to be recycled. Let's keep it coming ‘round.
