Sunshine Coast Council

Facility closure due to novel coronavirus (COVID-19)

Residents are advised that in the interest of public safety, council will temporarily close its recycle markets at the following locations:

• Buderim Resource Recovery Centre
• Caloundra Resource Recovery Centre
• Beerwah Resource Recovery Centre
• Witta Resource Recovery Centre.

This closure complies with the recent announcement by PM Scott Morrison where particular activities were to close as a measure to manage the spread of the emerging COVID-19 outbreak.

To ensure the continuation of critical waste management operations and the health and safety of the Sunshine Coast community, the closure of the above Recycle Markets will take effect immediately until further notice.

Note: Landfills and recovery centres are open. Only the markets are closed.

Recycle markets are large second hand shops located Resource Recovery Centres. They are clean and tidy and the prices are low. The markets are operated by local not-for-profit organisations with proceeds from sales going back into local communities.

The recycle markets are open to everyone, and are perfect for:

• renters looking for furniture and home-wares at bargain prices
• parents setting up a nursery and looking for reusable cots and highchairs
• anyone thinking of trying a new sport (you will find a range of equipment from sets of golf clubs to cricket pads, fishing rods, surfboards etc.)
• renovators looking for cheap building materials.

Many items are new or hardly used. Some have been restored or repaired in the market workshop and all items given a quick clean before being sold.

Top tips

• All items must be picked up on the day, so it is worth taking a trailer, roof racks and tie-downs or clearing some boot space just in case.
• Take a friend to help load bulky items like furniture. If you see something you like, one person can stay with the item while you find a sales person to help you.
• To meet workplace health and safety requirements, visitors must wear closed in footwear at all waste and recycling facilities. People wearing sandals or thongs will be refused entry.
