Golden Plains Shire residents are invited to attend the Detox your Home event in Moolap as an opportunity to dispose of household chemicals.
Highly toxic items, such as chemicals, should never be put in your rubbish bins, poured down the drain, or left out on the nature strip during hard rubbish collections.
You can drop off unwanted household chemicals at Sustainability Victoria's free Detox Your Home events, which are licensed to accept toxic chemicals and staffed by trained specialist chemists.
Around 40 pop-up events are hosted around Victoria each year in partnership with local councils.
Disposing of toxic items correctly will:
- Reduce the risk to the environment and human health.
- Help keep our waterways clean.
- Prevent chemicals from ending up in landfill.
- Reuse precious resources.
