Recycling Drop Offs
Clothing hubs
Unlike some clothing bins that only accept re-usable items, all textile items even torn clothing can be placed in the clothing drop-off hubs. Materials collected are either re-used, recycled, or are converted into alternate fuel sources.
Acceptable items include clothing, handbags, shoes, belts, hats, scarves, and accessories.
Accepted items
When using the clothing hubs, we ask that you observe the following acceptable items.
Items not accepted
Please observe that the following items are not accepted via the clothing hubs.
Drop-off locations
To view clothing hub locations, search the hub finder on SCRG’s website.
E-waste
To protect our environment and recover more precious resources, the Victorian Government banned all e-waste from going to landfill as of 1 July 2019. That means that e-waste can’t go in any bin.
The SCRG electrical drop-off hubs accept all small electrical items that have a cord, including kitchen appliances, personal care devices and mobile phones. Please note, items need to be under 50cm high and 60cm wide in order to fit in the tray and batteries must be removed before disposal. Large items such as televisions are not accepted, however you can book a hard waste collection, or drop these items off at a local transfer station. E-waste can be recycled for free at Moonee Valley Transfer Station.

Community Recycling Stations
Council's Community Recycling Stations offer a great solution for some common household items that cannot be recycled using your kerbside bins.
Residents can drop off a range of items for free using the new community recycling stations including small electrical items, CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, cassettes, floppy discs, light globes including fluorescent light globes, X-rays, pens, textas and old stationary items.
Please note that the stations are only designed to accept household quantities of items. Large quantities cannot be accommodated by the recycling stations.
If the recycling station is full, or you have large quantities you must not leave materials on top of or beside the recycling station. As an alternative you are able to take your items to a waste transfer station instead.
Local circular economy champions at Green Collect process your items at their Braybrook sorting facility. Salvageable items are refurbished and sold at their stores in Braybrook and Yarraville, while items destined for recycling are broken down into their base components.
Batteries are not accepted at these stations, to find a battery drop off point please refer to the B-cycle website.
