 The
Hazardous Household Waste Depot is a service provided for householders
and farmers (not businesses) to dispose of hazardous wastes
free of charge.
All waste received at the Hazardous Household Waste Depot is
sorted and classified to identify the most appropriate recycling,
treatment or disposal option.

The depot accepts waste pesticides, pharmaceuticals, solvents,
thinners, paints, oils, fuels, batteries and unknown chemicals.

materials, tyres and empty pesticide containers will not be

the passenger compartment of the car.
