Do you have unused chemicals or old oil hanging around at home you need to get rid of? Be on the lookout for a hazardous waste collection near you!
We will be holding one-off collections throughout our communities to provide residents with convenient and accessible options to dispose of hazardous waste.
The goal is to prevent potential health hazards, environmental pollution, and illegal dumping, recover valuable resources through recycling, and promote responsible waste management practices within the community.
Where?
We have a large district and not all drop-off locations will suit everyone. Please be patient - it will take some time, but we are working hard to hold these events in all corners of the district.
Registration is essential
Events have limited capacity so book in quickly, drive-up's will not be allowed. Only those registered will be communicated the location of the event.
