Sutherland Shire's Household Chemical Collection events are held twice a year. The NSW Environmental Protection Agency provides these free Household Chemical Collection services for all NSW residents.

Chemical waste is hazardous. When disposed of incorrectly in your household bins, it can pose a serious risk to you, the environment and the community. The Household Chemical CleanOut is the states safest way to dispose of potentially hazardous household chemicals and problem wastes.

Storing and transporting unwanted chemicals

Handle and transport chemicals carefully and remain in your vehicle at the collection site.

  • Never mix chemicals as this may produce dangerous reactions.
  • Wherever possible keep all chemicals in their original containers.
  • Ensure containers are clearly labelled and well-sealed. If you do not know the contents, label the container 'unknown chemical'.
  • Liquid can leak during transport: wrap containers holding liquids securely in newspaper, place in sturdy plastic bags and then in plastic buckets or trays.
  • Keep household chemicals away from passengers, for example, by placing them in the boot of your car.
