Boral's Widemere Recycling facility produces a range of building and construction products by separating, crushing and blending recovered construction and demolition (C&D) wastes.
Operating since 2002, the site acts as Boral's largest recycling centre in NSW, servicing the building industry's increasing demand for this type of product.
The site is located on the edge of the former Prospect Quarry adjacent to the Wetherill Park industrial area and Prospect Reservoir in Sydney's western suburbs.

The minimum requirement for PPE for a customer tipping are: steel cap boots, high-visibility clothing and a hard hat.
We do also recommend customers wear long longs, gloves, safety glasses and hearing protection.
