Household Hazardous Waste Collection Saturday 2 November FREE!

Posted on October 09, 2024

Household hazardous waste refers to the chemicals used in and around the home that are flammable, toxic, explosive, or corrosive. The average Australian home stores many hazardous substances including everyday household items such as bleach or other cleaning solvents, as well as garden and pool chemicals.

It is dangerous to dispose of household hazardous waste in your general rubbish or recycling bin. These chemicals can cause fires in bins and garbage trucks, creating a safety hazard for truck drivers, the general community, and the environment.

By participating in household hazardous waste collections, Tasmanians contribute to a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable future, reinforcing Circular North's vision of transforming waste management into a proactive, community-driven effort toward zero waste​​.
