From 12noon, Tuesday 17 September until 6pm, Saturday 26 October Council enters into an Election ‘Caretaker’ Period. This is in place to avoid actions and decisions that may be interpreted as influencing voters or binding an incoming Council. There will be limited updates on our digital channels during this time.
Sustainability Victoria, in partnership with local government, host chemical collection events across Victoria for households to safely dispose of chemicals.
You can attend as many events as you like, at any location. You must register for these collections online.
If you can't get to an event, it is important to safely store your old or unwanted household chemicals at home until you can dispose of them correctly. Find out how to safely store your chemicals.
Register for these events and view other upcoming collection points on the Detox your Home website.

Please check current opening hours and conditions of entry with the individual facility.
