Detox Your Home at Lardner Transfer Station

Detox Your Home at Lardner Transfer Station

Published on 24 July 2023

It’s time to clean those unwanted household chemicals out of your shed, cupboard and from under your sink to dispose of them safely at Sustainability Victoria’s Detox your Home event on Saturday 19th August between 9.00am and 12.00pm noon at Lardner Transfer Station. 

Co-hosted with Baw Baw Shire Council, Detox your Home is a free and convenient service for householders to safely dispose of everyday household chemicals such as weedkiller, cleaning chemicals, old cooking oil and cosmetics. 

Each Detox your Home event collects around 4 tonnes of hazardous chemicals, keeping them out of landfill and waterways and making homes safer.  

Common chemicals collected at Detox your Home events include:  

Fuels and flammable liquids – turpentine, methylated spirits, petrol, kerosene, diesel, paint thinners  Garden – herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, pool chemicals, poisons  Household – cleaners, bleach, ammonia, oven cleaner, solvents, cooking oil, cosmetics, fire extinguishers  Car – wax, transmission fluid, body filler, brake fluid. 

“We are pleased to partner with Sustainability Victoria to deliver this Detox your Home event right here in Baw Baw,” says Mayor of Baw Baw Shire Cr Annemarie McCabe. “It is a great opportunity to get rid of all those leftover nasties cluttering your shed or cupboard, and to feel safe that you’re doing it in an environmentally safe way.”    

Detox your Home events are staffed by expert chemists who identify and sort the chemicals for safe transport back to a licenced facility in Melbourne where they are processed for reuse or safe disposal. Chemicals collected are processed and recovered or recycled wherever possible. If they cannot be reused in any way, they are safely disposed of.  

With community safety in mind, Detox your Home events are now drive-through and contactless. Registrations are essential.  

Date: Saturday 19th August 2023  Time: 9am – 12 noon  Location: Lardner Transfer Station  Address: Simpson Road, Lardner
