Household chemicals
Household chemicals cannot be taken to any Latrobe City Council Transfer Station. Transfer stations aren’t equipped to manage household chemicals. This is because these chemicals pose a high risk when combined or stored in large volumes. It is important for you to safely store your small amount of household chemicals at home right now.
Our annual ‘Detox your Home Mobile Collections’ are designed to accept a specific range of highly toxic household chemicals that can’t be accepted at transfer stations.
These events are staffed by expert chemists who understand how to safely manage toxic household chemicals. Chemicals taken to ‘Detox your Home’ events are safely stored during the event, then transported to a licensed processing facility.

Detox Your Home Mobile Collection
This mobile service is designed specifically to collect unwanted household chemicals. Less toxic items such as paint, household batteries, fluorescent tubes and compact fluorescent lamps are no longer accepted at mobile collections but can be disposed of throughout the year at the ‘Permanent Drop-Off Site’ at the Morwell Transfer Station at no cost, 7 days per week.
