Do you need to safely dispose of unwanted, highly toxic household chemicals? Household chemicals can be dangerous – they can harm your family and your pets, add extra fuel to a house fire, release toxic fumes and pollute the environment for future generations.
Detox your Home is a safe, free and easy-to-use service to dispose of unwanted, highly toxic household chemicals without harming your health or the environment... and a collection is coming to Ballarat this August.
The collected items are recovered and diverted from landfill.
There are up to 33 Detox your Home events held across Victoria each year to ensure reasonable access for all Victorian householders. The program is administered by Sustainability Victoria in partnership with local councils and is funded by the Victorian landfill levy.
The Ballarat collection event is on 4 August, at the Ballarat Transfer Station, Gilles Street South, 10am-12pm. The Geelong collection was held in February this year.
Visit the Detox your Home website for a complete list of upcoming events and accepted products.
Do the right thing for your loved ones and your environment and Detox your Home; it’s easy and it’s free.
