Business-related and commercial quantities of chemicals are not accepted, nor whitegoods or metal items.

Storing and transporting unwanted chemicals

• 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 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, for example, by placing them in the boot of your car or in a trailer.

This project is a Waste Less Recycle More initiative funded from the waste levy.
