Reduce what you use:
- Only purchase the amount you need to avoid excess wastage
- Use non-toxic equivalents
- Handle and store the chemicals appropriately to maximise their useful life
- Prevent unnecessary wastage and spillages by making sure caps and lids are replaced securely
We do not accept any chemicals at our Recycling and Household Waste Sites.
You can dispose small amounts of household chemicals such as oven cleaner or other household chemicals with a chemical waste permit.
