Safely dispose of hazardous chemicals within your home each year through Council’s free Chemical Clean Out.

These events are a free mobile service held across NSW on specified dates. Residents can safely dispose of substances such as pool and hobby chemicals, household cleaners, solvents, poisons and garden pesticides. Household quantities are accepted, up to a maximum of 20 litres or 20 kilograms per single item.

The next Chemical Clean Out is yet to be confirmed, keep an eye on Council's website and Facebook page for updates.
