Join us for our next Household Chemical CleanOut!
This is a great opportunity to clean out your home, shed or garage of leftover household chemicals and dispose of them correctly.
Leftover chemicals you have at home - including paints, solvents, pesticides and even cleaning products - should not be put in your household bins. Pouring substances such as paints or cleaning fluids down the drain means they can end up in Sydney Harbour.
Help protect our environment and precious marine life by disposing of household chemicals correctly and safely. Everyone is welcome - you don’t have to live in inner Sydney to take part.
WHAT TO EXPECT AND HOW TO GET READY
// Stay in your vehicle //
Our team will show you where to drive, unpack items for you and help you get on your way faster.
// Bring items in tubs, sealed and in the boot //
This way, you don’t breathe anything in and our team can quickly and safely unpack items for you.
// Leave the sorting to the pros //
Don’t mix anything and keep your chemicals in their original containers to make them easier to identify. If you’ve lost the original label, just label the item with ‘unknown chemical’.
// Cycle or walk up //
People walking or cycling are also welcome.
