Detox Your Home

Unwanted chemicals may harm the environment when you pour them down the sink or put them in the rubbish bin. Detox Your Home allows you to dispose of these chemicals safely.

Take your household chemical products to a convenient Detox Your Home disposal point. You can go to any of the permanent facilities or use the mobile service. All Victorian householders can use any of the drop-off points for free.

Detox Your Home - mobile service

The mobile service accepts a wide range of household chemical products on scheduled weekends at specific collection sites around Victoria. See the Detox Your Home - mobile service article (link below) to find out when the free disposal service will be in your area and what chemicals you can take.

Detox Your Home - permanent facilities

Paint, motor oil, all types of batteries, gas cylinders and fluorescent tubes can be dropped off year round at one of the permanent facilities located at specific council premises. Don't wait for the mobile service to come to you. See the Detox Your Home - permanent facilities article (link at bottom of page) to find the facility locations.

Businesses of any sort are ineligible to use the Detox Your Home service and should instead contact a chemical waste disposal service provider (download list below or look in the Yellow pages).
