This free event is staffed by trained specialist chemists and licensed to accept a wide range of hazardous items, helping families protect their homes and the environment.
At this event, you can bring unwanted household chemicals such as acids, alkalis, fuels, pesticides, and more. The team will safely collect and dispose of these items, ensuring your home stays toxin-free. You must register to attend, and if the event is fully booked, a waitlist is available.
