Information on the safe disposal of chemical waste.
Some products are safe to use in every day life but considered hazardous when it comes to disposing of them. This means they require specialist treatment, using environmentally friendly and safe disposal or recycling methods.
How to throw away chemical waste
- Do not throw household chemicals or garden chemicals in drains, sinks, or toilets. This is illegal and causes harm to human health, wildlife, and the environment.
- Do not throw chemicals in your red, green, or grey bins.
- Take any chemicals for disposal to the Chalvey Household Waste Recycling Centre, free of charge.
- Leave chemical and hazardous materials in their original container. If they are not in their original container, use a clearly marked suitable storage alternative.
- Never mix chemicals as they could give off poisonous or toxic fumes.
