CleanOut your chemicals the right way. Check accepted materials, dates and locations for the next service.
Have you ever wondered what to do with those unwanted, out-of-date or leftover household chemicals found in your kitchen, bathroom, laundry, garage or garden shed?
The correct way to dispose of potentially hazardous chemicals is through the CleanOut program. CleanOut is a FREE service for the safe disposal of a range of common household chemicals which could cause harm to human health and the environment if not disposed correctly.
CleanOut events are held at various locations throughout NSW at specified dates throughout the year. See the locations and dates below or contact your local council for more information. Locations and dates are subject to change, so please check the schedule prior to attending your next event.
Inquiries: info@environment.nsw.gov.au or phone the Environment Line 131 555.
Locations and dates are subject to change, so please check prior to drop-off. Materials are not accepted outside advertised times and patrons are advised against illegal dumping.

At CleanOut events household quantities, up to a maximum 20 litres or 20 kilograms of a singular item, will be accepted.
Business-related and commercial quantities are not accepted at CleanOut events. Telephone the Environment Line on 131 555 to find out the correct disposal methods for businesses. However trade painters can drop off up to 100 litres of paint thanks to Paintback
Paintback is an initiative designed to divert unwanted paint and packaging away from landfill.
This is the first time the cleanout days have specifically targeted trade painters and provided an opportunity to dispose of higher quantities of paint.
In the past only 20 litres could be disposed of, which has now been extended to 100 litres per customer. We encourage local tradies to take this up and dispose of those leftover or old tins of paint they aren’t ever going to use.
You can drop off:
