#SydneyNSW - #HouseholdChemical Clean Out

"We're hosting a Household Chemical CleanOut on Saturday 18 April 2026 from 9am to 3:30pm at Alexandra Canal Depot, 67C Bourke Road, Alexandria NSW 2015. Everyone is welcome, even if you don't live in our area.

"To find other drop-off locations and dates, visit the Household Chemical CleanOut website or call the NSW environment line on 131 555.

Transport your items carefully
- Bring your items in the boot and seal them tight. Don’t mix anything and if you don’t know the contents, just label the item as ‘unknown chemical’.
- You must stay in your vehicle at the drop-off site – an attendant will come to you. People walking or riding can access a separate drop-off area.

If you’re a building manager or have a lot of chemicals contact us to discuss quantities for drop-off.

After you finish

Many chemicals are recycled while others are treated for safe disposal. For example:
- Leftover #paint is mixed with other solvents and used in cement manufacturing. The metal paint tins are recycled.
- Any remaining gas is taken out of gas cylinders and the steel in the bottle is recycled. Many bottles are returned to the hire market – so they’re reused rather than recycled.
- Lead, acid and plastic in #batteries are recovered and recycled.
- #Fluoro tubes, which contain mercury, are crushed to separate the phosphor powder from the glass. This powder is processed to capture any mercury, which is then sold for a range of industrial uses. The leftover glass and metal are put back into the recycling system."
