What is Detox your Home?
Many homes have a range of partially filled chemical contains that may be long past their use by date or they simply do not know what they are. They may be hazardous chemicals. Never put hazardous household chemicals in your rubbish bin or pour them down the drain.
Throwing hazardous household chemicals in your rubbish bins is dangerous. They can explode, catch fire, leak, or mix with other substances - posing serious risks in your bin, the collection truck, or at sorting facilities.
Pouring chemicals down the drain may pollute waterways and make rivers and beaches unsafe for swimming, contaminate our water supply, and harm wildlife and vegetation.
The most convenient way to safely dispose of your hazardous household chemicals at a Detox Your Home event. It is free and staffed by trained chemists.
