From today, all Ballina Shire residents can again drop off household waste at the Ballina Waste Management Centre.
The NSW Environment Protection Authority has notified all NSW council waste management facilities explaining they can recommence business and open to the public as of today.
In accordance with this direction, the Ballina Waste Management Centre has reopened to the public, effective immediately.
The Waste Centre is anticipating a significant volume of customers over the weekend, so residents may experience some delays. Council asks that everyone remains patient, and is encouraging residents wanting to avoid possible delays postpone their visit until after the weekend.
The Ballina Salvage Shop is also permitted to reopen, however the timing of its reopening will depend on resourcing. Council will notify residents once a reopening date and time is confirmed. The Ballina Salvage Shop is operated by Momentum Collective, a not-for-profit community organisation and the shop supports their programs.
Customers are reminded to continue to adhere to all of the current public health orders, including social distancing, QR sign in and all general hygiene practices are still required. Masks are also mandatory for all public indoor venues.
For more information call the Waste Centre on 02 6686 1287.
