Now is the perfect time to clean out the garage and cupboards of your hazardous household chemicals and items in preparation for the EPA Chemical CleanOut.

Items that can be dropped off include household cleaners, pesticides and herbicides, poisons, motor fuels, fluorescent globes, acids, smoke detectors, gas bottles, fire extinguishers as well as car and household batteries.

Only household chemical quantities (a maximum of 20kg or 20 litres per item) will be accepted (per drop off – with the exception of paint).

Householders and commercial/trade painters can bring up to 100L of paint for free.

As a safety requirement residents must be in a vehicle to drop off unwanted household chemicals. You will be required to stay in your car so that NSW Health orders on 1.5m social distancing can be complied with. Walk-ins will not be accepted.

Please follow the instructions of the traffic controllers and be aware that there may be traffic delays.
