#SydneyNSW - #HouseholdChemical Clean Out

"We're hosting a Household Chemical CleanOut on Saturday 18 April 2026 from 9am to 3:30pm at Alexandra Canal Depot, 67C Bourke Road, Alexandria NSW 2015. Everyone is welcome, even if you don't live in our area.

"To find other drop-off locations and dates, visit the Household Chemical CleanOut website or call the NSW environment line on 131 555.

Transport your items carefully
- Bring your items in the boot and seal them tight. Don’t mix anything and if you don’t know the contents, just label the item as ‘unknown chemical’.
- You must stay in your vehicle at the drop-off site – an attendant will come to you. People walking or riding can access a separate drop-off area.

If you’re a building manager or have a lot of chemicals contact us to discuss quantities for drop-off.

After you finish

Many chemicals are recycled while others are treated for safe disposal. For example:
- Leftover #paint is mixed with other solvents and used in cement manufacturing. The metal paint tins are recycled.
- Any remaining gas is taken out of gas cylinders and the steel in the bottle is recycled. Many bottles are returned to the hire market – so they’re reused rather than recycled.
- Lead, acid and plastic in #batteries are recovered and recycled.
- #Fluoro tubes, which contain mercury, are crushed to separate the phosphor powder from the glass. This powder is processed to capture any mercury, which is then sold for a range of industrial uses. The leftover glass and metal are put back into the recycling system."

#SydneyNSW, #Australia - Why Buy When You Can Borrow?

"The #Sydney #LibraryOfThings is a not-for-profit service that provides the local community with access to a collection of extremely useful but only occasionally used items that can be loaned out for a short period of time.

We’re like a normal library but with things instead of books! Joining your enables you to borrow from ALL of our branches and you don’t have to live in the local area of the branch you want to join! Find out more about subscriptions and how it works here.

We hope that by encouraging people to borrow instead of buying or throwing away their unwanted items, together we can create a better connected, more sustainable and stronger community.
Did you know we also deliver #RepairCafes and run a #ToyLibrary? Check out #FixItHub Waverton, #TheFixery Cromer and The Lane Cove Toy Library.

We acknowledge the original custodians of the lands we work from, and pay respect to Elders past and present and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples."
