Chemical waste is hazardous. When disposed of incorrectly in your household waste bins, it can pose a serious risk to you and the community. Council hosts free collections for residents to safely dispose of problem waste. Council hosts two Household Chemical CleanOuts per year.

Next event will be hosted around September 2024.

Remain in your vehicle during drop-off and follow staff instructions. Transport chemicals safely.

Visit the NSW EPA for other chemical collection dates if our dates don’t suit you. This is a free service.

Only household quantities are accepted (20L or 20kg). Paint is accepted up to 100L (in 20L containers).

Please transport your materials carefully and remain in your vehicle at the collection site.
