There are a lot of products that are used around the home that are classed as hazardous substances.

Common household products that may include hazardous substances are:

  • oil - motor and waste
  • cleaning fluids – bleaching agents, oven and drain cleaners
  • solvents – mineral turpentine, methylated spirits, paint thinners
  • adhesives – especially those containing solvents
  • garden chemicals – herbicides, fungicides and insecticides
  • pool chemicals
  • dyes – textile and hair dyes
  • stored fuels – petrol, LPG, diesel and oil
  • old gas cylinders
  • car batteries and antifreeze
  • aerosols.

Disposing of hazardous substance

  • If you have unwanted household hazardous substances you may be able to dispose of it at the Transfer Station on Lincoln Street. 
  • check the original container for instructions on how to dispose of the substance safety.
  • don't pour unwanted chemicals down the sink, storm water drain or onto the ground.
