ChemClear
ChemClear is a non-government, not-for profit ongoing program for the collection and disposal of any registered or deregistered chemicals. Keeping old chemicals can pose a risk to you and the environment.
These six questions can help you assess what chemicals you should keep or get rid of through ChemClear. Has the chemical …
- Served its purpose?
- Been replaced by another product?
- Become surplus to needs?
- Reached its expiration date?
- Been deregistered by the Australian Pesticide and Veterinary Manufacturers Association (APVMA)?
- Had restrictions placed on its use?
If you have answered yes to one or more of these questions, then your chemical is ready for disposal through ChemClear.
Group 1 chemicals are collected free of charge.
A per lt/kg fee applies for disposal of Group 2 chemicals. A quotation from ChemClear is provided prior to a collection being scheduled for pickup of these items.
More information on eligible chemicals and chemical group classification can be found here.
