Hazardous household waste

Any leftover chemicals you have at home – including paints, solvents, pesticides and even cleaning products – should not be put in your household bins. These might be hazardous and should be disposed of safely.

The City of Sydney and the NSW Environment Protection Authority run chemical drop-off days.

The City's next Chemical CleanOut collection will be held on, at the Sydney Park Depot, 54 Barwon Park Road, St Peters.

What to bring

These chemicals and other products are accepted at CleanOuts:

• solvents and household cleaners
• paints and thinners
• pesticides and herbicides
• poisons
• aerosols
• pool chemicals
• motor oils, fuels and fluids
• acids and alkalis
• car batteries
• household batteries
• hobby chemicals such as photographic chemicals
• gas bottles
• fire extinguishers
• fluorescent lamps
• light globes
• smoke alarms
• cosmetics and skincare.

Only household (not commercial) quantities are accepted.

The maximum container size is 20kg or 20L.

Please transport your items carefully and stay in your vehicle at the drop-off site – an attendant will come to you.

Next stop for the chemicals

Many chemicals collected on the day are recycled.

Others need to be disposed of correctly and safely if sent to landfill because toxic elements such as mercury, cadmium and lead could leach into the environment.
