The last collection was held from 29 March to 8 April 2017 with all member councils participating. 8,048.30 kg was collected from 9 LGAs across 11 collection events. Since collections began in 2003, 67,748.99 kg has been collected with 2,540 people attending the CleanOut events.

PLEASE HANDLE AND TRANSPORT CHEMICALS 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 plastic buckets or trays

  • Keep household chemicals away from passengers, e.g. in the boot
