At ReUse Hunter we have a community of circular businesses offering alternative solutions to help reduce the waste that ends up in landfill.
Each role plays an important part in our circular economy we are desiring to achieve for our community. Learn more about what each of these roles entail with our handy definitions. To reduce the amount going into landfill every year, we ask for you to consider other options before sending these items to our waste facilities.
Our region, the Hunter and Central Coast, have already built incredible momentum behind the transition to a circular economy. A range of stakeholders across the public and private spheres have delivered capability programs, gathered and analysed data to identify new opportunities. Browse by material to see what’s available in your area.
Circular economy is a framework to use and manage materials required to meet the needs of society in such a way that does not deplete finite resources, retains value in closed-loop systems, and regenerates degraded ecological systems. The circular economy framework provides the following three guiding principles: eliminate waste and pollution, keep materials in use, and regenerate natural systems.
At Battery World we have a tried and tested recycling program to ensure all used lead acid batteries are recycled properly.
Almost every car and truck has at least one Lead Acid or Sealed Lead (SLA) battery in it, and so do motorbikes and boats. 96% of these batteries can be recycled to make new batteries. Lead is one of the most recycled materials in the world and the main source of secondary lead is from lead acid battery recycling, with global recycling rates estimated at around 95%. However due to the toxic nature of lead and corrosive battery acid used in them, Lead Acid Batteries have to be recycled carefully.

Chemist Warehouse recycles blister packs at all stores in Australia through the Pharmacycle program. Millions of medication blister packs could be diverted from landfill through the recycling program.
Chemist Warehouse, a leading Australian pharmacy retailer, has made a significant stride in sustainable practices by partnering with Pharmacycle to launch a blister pack recycling initiative. This initiative, aimed at addressing the pressing issue of blister pack waste, marks a notable advancement in recycling efforts within Australia.
Chemist Warehouse provides customers at all Australian stores the opportunity to dispose of their empty blister packs sustainably. The pharmacy will facilitate this through branded recycling bins placed near the dispensary area, featuring both Chemist Warehouse and Pharmacycle logos.
Once collected from the pharmacy, blister packs are transported to one of Pharmacycle’s processing facilities, where the packaging requires specialised machinery to separate the materials before they can be recycled.
The aluminium is then sent to Weston Aluminium in the Hunter Valley in NSW, which reprocesses it to produce an aluminium de-oxidant product that aids in the steel making process.

Since 2013, customers across all of our stores have been returning old batteries to ALDI. Together, we can do our part to help reduce the number of batteries that end up in landfill each year.
In 2021, ALDI Australia came on board as an accredited member of the Battery Stewardship Council and is now a participant of the B-cycle battery recycling program.
The Battery Stewardship Council strives to ensure that batteries are recycled in an environmentally sound manner through accredited drop-off points.
You can return AAA, AA, C, D and 9V batteries.
It’s simple!
