Penrith is a recognised leader in sustainable waste management, particularly our household organic waste recycling service. Council is committed to actively supporting our community to reduce waste sent to landfill through reducing, reusing, recycling and generally disposing of waste responsibly. We provide domestic and commercial waste collection and recycling services and promote waste avoidance and resource recovery. We also play a role through the approvals and regulation processes as regulator of building and land development activity.
Supporting Sustainable Choices Scheme
Consider replacing single-use items with sustainable, reusable products like cloth nappies, sanitary items, rechargeable batteries, and food storage containers. This switch benefits the environment and could save you money. Plus, your household may qualify for a rebate under Council’s Supporting Sustainable Choices Scheme. Visit this page for more info.

Council holds regular free Electronic Waste Drop-Off Days at The Kingsway Playing Fields in Werrington
