Chemicals

Household chemicals—such as paint, oil and cleaning products—shouldn't be placed in your kerbside bins or tipped down the drain or sink. There are several free drop-off services where you can dispose of them safely and responsibly.

You can find out more about these services below and in our Household Chemicals (PDF 610kB) flyer.

Summerhill Community Recycling Centre

You can drop-off paint, oil, gas bottles, fire extinguishers, fluoro globes and tubes, smoke detectors and batteries, at the Summerhill Community Recycling Centre.

Household Chemical CleanOut

The safe way to dispose of a wide range of household chemicals—including cleaning, car, pool, garden and hobby chemicals—is at a Household Chemical CleanOut event.

Community Recycling Stations

You can drop off household batteries, fluoro globes, mobile phones, printer cartridges, X-rays and reading glasses at our Community Recycling Stations.
