Household Hazardous Waste Free Drop Off Days

Local residents are invited to drop off hazardous household waste for free on Saturday 29th November.

Disposing of hazardous chemicals in your general waste or recycling bin is unsafe, as these materials can be flammable, corrosive, explosive, or toxic. Improper disposal can lead to fires in bins or garbage trucks, posing a risk to truck drivers and the community. These chemicals should also not be poured down the drain, as they can disrupt the functioning of Council water treatment plants and are harmful to the environment.

You can safely dispose of the following hazardous waste items at the free drop-off day:

• Insect sprays
• Metal polish and solvents
• Floor care products
• Brake fluid, motor oil, sump oil, and gear oil
• Petrol and marine fuel
• Fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, and weed killers
• Paints and mediums
• Dry-cleaning solvents
• Fibreglass resins
• Swimming pool chemicals
• Photographic chemicals
• Smoke detectors
• Compact fluorescent light bulbs

Important Information:

• Items must remain in their original containers with lids on and must not be mixed.
• A 20-litre limit applies for each chemical or product.

This service is for residents only. Commercial quantities will not be accepted.
