A new education campaign by Blue Mountains City Council is focusing on how to dispose of hazardous waste correctly. This month the focus is on Council’s three main disposal methods for hazardous waste.

A new education campaign has been released by Blue Mountains City Council this month, to raise awareness about the dangers hazardous waste poses to our community and World Heritage Area.

A new initiative ‘Zero Waste Leura’ was launched at Leura Garage on 25 November. The event marked the start of a year-long partnership project that aims to achieve ‘zero food waste’ in Leura and beyond.

From 1 August 2020, operating hours at Katoomba Waste Management Facility (WMF) will change.

From 1 August, Council is moving to a more convenient, one-service model for the booked waste service.

Residents overcharged for bins will get annual domestic waste bin charges credited each year until they are reimbursed, starting 1 July 2020.

Council has announced that a phased reopening of both Blaxland and Katoomba Waste Management Facilities will begin from Thursday 30 April.

Blue Mountains City Council is increasing booked bulky waste services, to assist the community during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Blaxland Resource Recovery and Waste Management Facility will be temporarily closed to visits from the general public from Wednesday 1 April 2020, until further notice, due to Coronavirus (COVID-19).

People from across the Blue Mountain came together and got their hands dirty on Sunday 1 March for Clean Up Australia Day.
