There are a number of hazardous chemicals and materials in your home which must not go into any of your kerbside collection bins. If these items are not properly disposed of, they can cause harm to your family, pets or the environment.
Safely dispose of your unwanted household chemicals and hazardous materials for FREE at any of the 15 Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Permanent Facilities in WA. Check your local facility's open times to find a time that is convenient for you to drop off your HHW.
You do not need to be a resident of the Local Government managing the HHW Facilities to be able to drop off your HHW for free.
