Detox Your Home

Detox Your Home is a free, safe way to dispose of unwanted household chemicals from your home, shed, or garage.

The program is delivered by the Victorian Government through Sustainability Victoria. It safely disposes of and recycles toxic household chemicals, keeping them out of landfill.

These events are free, held on weekends, and registration is required.

With your safety in mind, Detox Your Home events are now drive-through and contactless, supported by a COVIDSafe plan.
