The Detox Your Home program helps residents dispose of chemicals in an environmentally responsible way.
The household chemical collection day is on Saturday from 8am to 4pm at the Warrnambool Saleyards.
Accepted items include acids and alkalis, aerosol cans, anti-freeze, brake fluid, cooking oil, coolant, detergents, disinfectants and drain cleaners, fire extinguishers, fuels, insect spray/pesticides, paint stripper, thinner and turps, pool chemicals, rat poison, solvents and transmission fluid.
Paint, all batteries, fluorescent tubes and compact fluorescent lights are not accepted at the mobile event as they are accepted year round at the permanent drop off site at Statewide Recycling Services at 355 Koroit Street, Warrnambool.
