Detox Your Home Corangamite Shire

Safely dispose of unwanted household chemicals at a free Detox your Home event, without harming your health or the environment. Household chemicals should never be put in your rubbish bins or poured down the drain. Detox your Home events are drive-through and contactless.

Why dispose of household chemicals? Household chemicals can be dangerous. They may harm your family and pets, add extra fuel to a house fire, release toxic fumes and pollute the environment. Disposing of these items responsibly will:

• reduce the risk of poisoning, keeping your family, friends and pets safe
• keep toxic chemicals out of waterways, and
• minimise environmental pollution and fire hazards.

What happens to the chemicals? Qualified chemists sort the chemicals, placing them in sealed drums to be transported to a specialist waste treatment plant.

The majority of chemicals collected at Detox your Home events are recycled or used for suitable purposes, such as producing energy. Any chemicals that cannot be repurposed are safely disposed of after being treated.
