Construction Recycling Guide
To assist members with reducing their carbon footprint, we have partnered with the ACT government to deliver a construction industry recycling guide for members. AEROSOL CANS – HIGH RISK ITEMS Aerosol cans may contain environmentally harmful chemicals and accelerants that pose a safety risk when compressed in trucks or processed through sorting machinery. They need to be disposed of as hazardous waste where the packaging can be safely recycled. > Dispose of empty and full aerosol cans for FREE at the Hazardous Waste station at: – Mugga Lane Resource Management Centre – Mitchell Resource Management Centre > Refer to the hazardous waste webpage for limits > For commercial quantities find a business that specialise in hazardous waste disposal such as: – Cleanaway Ph: 13 13 39 – Suez, Hume Ph: 13 13 35 ASBESTOS Asbestos is a hazardous waste. The law requires you to engage a licensed asbestos removalist to remove asbestos from your house. Do not dispose of in the recycling or rubbish bin. Disposal options Asbestos loads from commercial sources, and domestic loads greater than 250kg or larger than 800mm x 800mm, are only accepted as commercial loads and charged accordingly. Commercial loads are accepted only at the Mugga Lane Resource Management Centre on appointment by contacting REMONDIS on 6270 7700.
