Other Recycling Options

 

Council collaborates with many different organisations to ensure that residents have the option of recycling items that cannot be recycled through our kerbside collection service. Some of these programs are listed below.

Fridge Buyback Program

The Fridge Buyback Program collects and recycles 'second' working fridges from households. To be eligible for the program, fridges must be:

  • the second fridge in the household;
  • in working condition;
  • at least 10 years old; and
  • larger than 250 litres capacity.

There are an estimated 2400 eligible fridges in the Lane Cove LGA.

If fridge removal involves six stairs or less, you'll receive a rebate of $35. If removal involves 21 stairs or more, a fee will apply.

For more information visit www.fridgebuyback.com.au or call 1800 708 401.

Fridge Buyback is organised by Next Energy Pty Ltd and supported by the NSW Government's Climate Change Fund and Lane Cove Council.
