Detox Your Home - Household Chemical Collection

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.

Visit the Sustainability Victoria website to learn more about:

• choosing safer, non-toxic household chemicals
• how to safely store your chemicals at home

Please remember:

• Throwing chemicals in your rubbish bin is dangerous. They may explode, catch fire, leak or mix with other chemicals, either in your bin or in the collection truck or sorting facility.
• Pouring them down the drain may pollute the environment, harm animals and vegetation, contaminate our water supply and make rivers and beaches unsafe for swimming.

View all upcoming collection points and register for a collection near you on the Detox your Home website.
