It’s time to clean those unwanted household chemicals out of your shed, cupboard and from under your sink. Dispose of them safely at Sustainability Victoria’s Detox your Home event on Saturday 27 May, 9am – 2pm at Stadium Drive, Keilor Park.
Detox your Home events are staffed by expert chemists who understand how to safely manage household chemicals. Chemicals are safely stored during the event and transported to a licensed processing facility at the end of the day.
