Northern Beaches Council are encouraging residents to bring their rigid pieces of 100% clean, white and dry expanded polystyrene (EPS) used for packaging of appliances and electronics to Kimbriki Resource Recovery Centre for recycling on our collection day for free.

The polystyrene must not be contaminated with dirt, soil, tape, concrete, food, labels, plastic cardboard, ink printing and no bean bag beads to ensure the product can be recycled.

If you can bend the polystyrene and it snaps then it is EPS.

2026-08-09 10:00 - 13:00 | Kimbriki Eco House & Garden, 1 Kimbriki Road (off Mona Vale Road), Ingleside, New South Wales, 2101, Australia
Composting and worm farming are great alternatives to disposing of your food waste in the rubbish bin while creating natural fertiliser for your garden. By recycling food scraps in a compost bin or worm farm you can help reduce organic waste disposed in landfill, in turn reducing the production of leachate and greenhouse gases from landfills. Compost and worm ‘castings’ are both ideal natural fertiliser for your garden.
*Northern Beaches Residents attending the entire Composting & Worms workshop: Northern Beaches Council would like to support its residents in recycling food waste at home by giving you a voucher towards buying a worm farm or compost bin. Northern Beaches Council will issue a $90 voucher to Northern Beaches residents who attend a Kimbriki Composting and Worms workshop and who have not had a free worm farm, compost bin or voucher from Council in the past. One voucher per household (not per person) is issued irrespective of number of workshops attended. The vouchers are issued directly from Council after you have attended the workshop. Please allow up to 3-4 weeks for the voucher to be issued and posted to your residential address. Voucher can be used at New Leaf Nursery in Ingleside or at the Kimbriki Eco House & Garden Eco shop.
