Examples of materials that can be dropped off include floor care products, fluorescent globes, car batteries, fuels, gas bottles, pool chemicals, paint and pesticides.
Materials should be handled and transported carefully:
- 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.
Items can be dropped on on Saturday July 22, 8 am – 2.30 pm at the Victoria St Waste Management Facility.
