Please safely store your household problem waste in clearly labelled containers, in a cool dry place away from children and pets until you can visit a CRC or CleanOut event.
Common household problems wastes, including fluorescent
lights, smoke detectors, paint, gas bottles, fire extinguishers, batteries and
oils, can be taken to your local Community Recycling Centre throughout
the year.
If there is no Community Recycling Centre in your area, you can
take these items and others to a Chemical CleanOut event.
Please check opening hours during the 2024-2025 holiday period with your local CRC before visiting.
