Household chemical drop off

 

Year round at the Community Recycling Centre

Some items can be recycled all year round. For more information on these items visit Community Recycling Centre | Tamworth Regional Council (nsw.gov.au)

 

Chemical waste

There are two community programs to ensure the safe disposal of unwanted or out-dated chemicals.

 

 

Annual Household Chemical CleanOut

The Annual Household Chemical CleanOut ensures that you have a means of safely and responsibly disposing of unwanted household chemicals that are kept in your kitchen, bathroom, laundry, garage or garden shed.

Tamworth Regional Council conducts the Annual CleanOut Campaign in conjunction with Northern Inland Regional Waste (NIRW).

 

Next Collection Date

NOTE:  Council participates in a wider region collection facilitated by Northern Inland Regional Waste (NIRW) and the next collection dates are yet to be advised to Council, as soon as we know dates for the next collection, this information will be updated. It is anticipated that it is likely to be March 2025. We apologise we are not able to provide specific dates at this point in time.

Locations:
  • Tamworth - Marius Street Sporting Fields (North Companions) - TBC
  • Manilla Waste Management Facility - TBC

Please check Council's Facebook page for any new or updated information closer to these dates above.

This is the only time of the year that residents can bring in domestic hazardous chemicals for disposal as Council's sites are not licenced to receive this type of waste all year round.

For more information about the types of chemicals you can and can’t dispose of as well as to learn about the safe storage and transportation of chemicals, visit the NSW EPA website or the Northern Inland Regional Waste website. Or call 6767 5555 for further information.

 

 

ChemClear

ChemClear is an industry stewardship program which is funded to collect currently registered agricultural and veterinary chemicals at the end of their life cycle, or when they become surplus.

  • Group 1 chemicals (currently registered) are collected free of charge.
  • Group 2 chemicals attract a disposal fee. These are chemicals which are no longer registered, unknown, unlabelled, out of date or mixed agriculture & veterinary chemicals. You can register online for the program or phone 1800 008 182.
