Storm waste - May 2025

If your home or business has been impacted by the recent floods, you can now apply to dispose of eligible flood-affected waste at the Singleton Waste Management Facility for the reduced rate of $347.10 per tonne – the “General mixed waste charge excluding waste levy” charge under the 2024/2025 Council Fees and Charges.

To apply for this discounted rate, please email your details including, name, address, waste composition and contact details to recovery@singleton.nsw.gov.au and if your address has been determined as an eligible property you’ll receive a confirmation email.

The discounted rate takes into account the NSW Government’s waiver of the waste levy for genuinely flood-affected waste generated from the recent floods.

The levy wavier only applies to waste going to landfill – like damaged carpet, furniture and building materials.

The levy waiver does not include green waste, mattresses, tyres and other recyclables.

You may also use your waste vouchers you have to help cover disposal costs.

Normal fees apply to non-flood-related waste.

Do not place waste on the kerbside for collection as there is no kerbside bulky waste collection for flood waste.

The Singleton Community Recycling Centre (CRC) provides Singleton residents with a user-friendly facility, making it easier to dispose of recyclable and household problem wastes FOR FREE.

To access the CRC you will need to pull up to our weigh bridge so our operators can review your items first before you recycle them (this is so we can record how much we are recycling and reduce contamination levels). 

Items that can be recycled include:

• Aluminium and steel
• Car batteries
• Electronic waste
• Fire extinguishers
• Fluorescent light globes and tubes
• Gas cylinders (empty)
• Glass bottles
• Household batteries
• Motor oils
• Other oils
• Paints - oil and water-based
• Paper and cardboard
• Plastics
• Polystyrene
• Smoke detectors

This project is a NSW EPA “Waste Less, Recycle More” initiative funded from the waste levy.

There are specific costs and conditions (including three (3) business days advance notification of delivery) for disposal of special wastes, including but not limited to, asbestos, large concrete sections, bulky demolition waste, fine dusty wastes and animal wastes.

Asbestos

Council has strict conditions for the acceptance of asbestos waste at the Singleton Waste Management Facility. It is essential customers follow directions before and during disposal to avoid asbestos exposure to themselves, staff, and other people. Bookings for disposal must be made before entry via our online booking system (CRM) and will require a minimum of 24 hours notice.

Sort the treasure from the trash! Complementing the Community Recycle Centre operations and stepping up the commitment to reducing waste and increasing recycling, the Burragan Recycling Shop at Singleton Waste Management Facility opened for business 5 November 2016.

The shop name, Burragan, is a local Aboriginal word meaning boomerang and reflects the nature of the items for sale returning back into use.

How it works

Facility staff divert items destined for landfill to the recycling shop, including building items from renovations such as doors, flooring and pavers, nuts, bolts, nails and household items such as furniture, knick knacks and bicycles.

Funds raised through the recycling shop operations assist with Councils disposal of expensive recyclables and problem wastes such as chemicals and e-waste.  These services are currently offered free of charge to the community.

This Singleton Council project was supported by the NSW Waste Less, Recycle More initiative funded from the waste levy.
