Household Chemical CleanOut

Wingecarribee Shire’s Chemical CleanOut event is now scheduled for 17 May 2026. Residents are encouraged to safely store household chemicals until then and follow transport safety tips: keep chemicals in original containers, label clearly, secure liquids to prevent leaks, and transport them in the boot of your car.

Important Event Changes May 2026

The Household Chemical Clean-Out event is held once a year and allows residents to safely drop off unwanted household chemicals free of charge, including cleaners, garden chemicals, paints and batteries. Due to increased participation and wait times experienced last year, we have expanded capacity to help reduce queues and improve service times.

  • Traffic flow has been redesigned with updated entry point and a total of 4 servicing lanes (previously 2)
  • Additional dedicated staff will be onsite to support a faster and more efficient service
