The Detox Your Home program is an events program across Victoria to safely dispose of unwanted toxic household chemicals, keep them out of landfill and make recycling work through correct recycling.
We deliver the Detox Your Home program in partnership with local councils. We coordinate the events calendar, provides a booking platform, and provide promotional materials for council use. The local council delivers the event within their LGA on the day itself.
The Detox Your Home pop up events are promoted by the hosting council in the relevant postcode areas, and also used as a reminder on how to dispose of chemicals safely, and to promote their permanent transfer stations that are available in the area all year round.
Information is provided to householders before the event on accepted items in the toxic household chemical category and these items are dropped off at the advertised location. The items are immediately sorted by qualified chemists and transported to a specialist waste treatment facility where they are either repurposed, recycled or stored in secure landfills.
