- Batteries
- Mobile phones
- Printer cartridges
- Small e-waste items (e.g. USBs, computer mice)
- Medical x-rays

Dodges Ferry Recycling Centre
What You Can Drop Off
These centres are designed to collect surplus kerbside recyclables, including:
- Cardboard
- Paper

- Plastic bottles and containers
- Glass bottles and jars
What NOT to Drop Off
Please do not leave the following items:
- Domestic rubbish
- Tyres
- Whitegoods (fridges, washing machines, etc.)
- Oil or chemicals
Leaving non-recyclable items is considered illegal dumping and may result in fines ranging from $200 to over $3,000.
The recycling centres are emptied 2–3 times a week, so please avoid leaving items on the ground – this contributes to litter and can lead to overflow issues.
