The free Detox your Home household chemical collection is coming back to Cheltenham on Sunday 6 March.
If you have any unwanted or out-of-date household chemicals around your home take advantage of this safe, free and easy-to-use disposal service without harming your health or the environment.
The Detox Your Home program is provided by Sustainability Victoria and funded by the Victorian landfill levy. The service collects potentially dangerous and unwanted household chemicals that are subsequently recycled for recovery and diverted from landfill.
Household chemicals can harm your family and your pets, add extra fuel to a house fire, release toxic fumes and pollute the environment for future generations.
Chemicals should not be poured down the drain as they pollute our waterways, harm animals and vegetation, contaminate our drinking water and make rivers and beaches unsafe for swimming.
Detox your Home will be in Cheltenham 8am-4pm on Sunday 6 March. The site address will be provided upon registration.
See sustainability.vic.gov.au/detoxyourhome for a full list of accepted items.
Register now for this free service at sustainability.vic.gov.au/detoxmobile or by calling 1800 353 233.
