Cessnock Waste Management Centre

The Cessnock Waste Management Centre (CWMC) is a waste landfill that is licensed by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA). Our waste service aims to deliver sustainable waste management and achieve a 70% diversion of waste from landfill.

The Community Recycling Centre (CRC) at the CWMC has closed temporarily due to a fire at the Sydney-based Cleanaway facility which receives recyclables and problem waste. Find out more by visiting the CRC page on our website.
