Dispose of your unwanted, out-of-date and leftover household chemicals for free this October, with Household Chemical CleanOut returning to our region at Bombala Landfill on Friday 27 October 2023.
When disposed of improperly – poured down drains, thrown out with rubbish, or dumped as litter – chemicals can cause serious damage to the environment, and pose a sometimes deadly threat to human and animal health.
Thanks to Household Chemical CleanOut, it's free and easy to do the right thing.
