Detox Your Home is run by Sustainability Victoria in partnership with East Gippsland Shire Council. The events are a free and convenient service for safe disposal of unwanted household chemicals. Common products such as weedkiller, pesticides, cleaning chemicals, cosmetics, and cooking oil are all materials harmful to the environment and should not be placed in kerbside bins or poured down sinks.
Each Detox Your Home event collects around 4 tonnes of hazardous chemicals keeping them out of landfill and waterways and making homes safer.
The events are staffed by expert chemists who identify and sort the chemicals for safe transport back to a licensed facility in Melbourne where they are processed for reuse or safe disposal. Chemicals collected are processed and recovered or recycled wherever possible. If they cannot be reused in any way, they are safely disposed of.
Detox your Home events are funded by state government through Sustainability Victoria on a year-to-year basis.
