Dispose of your household chemicals

Household hazardous chemicals can be highly flammable, corrosive or explosive and should never be thrown into just any bin or mixed with other waste at a waste facility.

Clean out your shed, kitchen or laundry and bring your chemicals to these drop-off days where they will be disposed of in a safe and compliant manner by Council’s waste partner, Cleanaway.  

WHAT CAN I BRING?

You can bring household quantities (up to 20L or 20kg of a single item) of:

• Solvents and household cleaners
• Ammonia-based cleaners
• Pesticides and herbicides
• Poisons
• Pool and hobby chemicals
• Motor fuels
• Acids and alkalis
• Cooking oils

WHAT CAN'T I BRING?

• Chemicals in unlabelled or damaged containers
• Flares
• Paint (this can be disposed of with the Paintback program)
• Farming-related and commercial quantities of chemicals (note: these can be disposed of with the ChemClear program)
