SURF COAST residents are encouraged to clear out their sheds, cupboards and garages when the region’s only chemical disposal event comes to Torquay next month.

The highly popular Detox Your Home collection event will be held at the Torquay Works Depot, in Messmate Rd, on October 4 between 9am and 12 noon.

The event will provide a safe and simple way for households to dispose of unwanted flammable chemicals, such as turpentine, kerosene, mower fuel and other household cleaning products and garden chemicals, at no cost.

Expert chemists will be on hand to share information about how to safely these products.

Chemicals should never be poured down the drain or put in kerbside bins where they can harm people, pets or the environment.
