Have chemicals you need to dispose of?
The correct way to dispose of potentially hazardous chemicals is through the Household Chemical Cleanout event.
The NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment, in conjunction with Councils host Household Chemical Cleanout events throughout the year.
Residents can bring their old and unwanted household chemicals and they will be disposed and/or recycled for FREE!
You can drop off household quantities of:
