Recycling at Fleurieu Environment Centre

We now have SIX different bins where you can recycle the following items

  • Batteries: All small-medium sizes, including hearing aid batteries.

  • Mobile phones and MP3 players

  • Pens: including biros, highlighters, and marker pens

  • Printer Cartridges

  • Razor Blades: Any brand of used razor blades and their packaging

  • Plastic bread tags

All these items can be dropped off to the FLEC when we are open. Open Hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday from 10am-3pm and 10am-1pm Saturdays

Please note, we no longer take the items below:

  •  Coffee Pods (aluminium ones) nor all aluminium

    Aluminium recycling is now available at the new recycling depot so all aluminium can go into the normal recycling bins where it will be recycled.

  • Coffee bags

The recyclers are no longer running this program. Most coffee bags are composite (combined) materials so need to go into landfill.

  • Toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes etc

The recyclers are no longer running this program. Most toothpaste tubes and toothbrushes need to go to landfill. For some eco alternative brushes and toothpaste, check out the items in our ecostore at FLEC.

  • Corks

Try donating your wine corks to a local school for craft and education activities. Otherwise please dispose of them as per the Which Bin guide.
