Zero Waste Map

Do you need help to find out where you can recycle different household materials?

Wyndham's Zero Waste Map will help you find services or locations within Wyndham where you can take certain commonly used household items to be recycled, such as cardboard, electrical waste, clothing and timber. The map will also help you to find restaurants and cafés that have pledged to commit to reducing single use plastics.

All you need to do is select a waste type or search for the item in the search field and the results will appear on the map.

For additional information on each of the locations click on the recycling symbol.
