For two days in December, you can get rid of household chemicals for free at two locations – Casino or Lismore.
You can take household problem wastes including paint, batteries, oils, gas bottles and fluoro lights to your local Community Recycling Centre all year round, but on December 7 and 8, you can also safely dispose of household chemicals for free at Casino or Lismore.
There’s never been a better time to get rid of unwanted or out-of-date stuff from your shed, including pool, garden, and hobby chemicals, household cleaners, and even poisons.
This free service will help you prepare your home for the summer season by reducing the risks that hazardous chemicals can present to your family and property, especially in emergencies such as cyclones, floods, and fires.
Add these chemical cleanout event dates to your calendar:
● Saturday, December 7 at the Nammooona Waste Facility, Dargaville Drive, Casino
● Sunday, December 8 at the Lismore Recycling and Recovery Centre, 313 Wyrallah Road, East Lismore.
Both events run from 9am–3pm and are free for all Northern Rivers residents.
You can bring paints – up to 100L (in 20L containers), batteries – up to 10kg, other household problem waste and chemicals – up to 20L or 20kg per waste type.
