From 28 November 2023 the City of Gosnells will no longer accept Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) at our Operations Centre. The City will collect HHW during annual collection days, which will be advertised on this page.Â
Many common products in your house may be harmful to the natural environment if disposed of incorrectly. Hazardous waste includes products that contain paint, chemicals, flammable constituents or toxic substances such as bleaches, brake fluid, engine coolant, aerosol cans, pesticides, cleaning products and pool chemicals or chlorine.
These products cannot be disposed of in your regular rubbish collection - in some cases it is illegal to do so. This helps to safeguard our environment and waterways, as well as residents health. Â
Information on where to dispose certain categories of household hazardous waste can be found below. Alternative Recycle Right has in-depth information for residents.Â
Recycling Hubs
Recycling hubs have been placed at the City's Libraries or the City of Gosnells Civic Centre. You can to drop-off household hazardous waste (HHW) that must not go in household bins but can be recycled. This creates a safer method to recover resources to be turned into new goods.
You can drop off items such as aerosol cans, mobile phones and chargers, printer cartridges and light globes.
Household batteriesÂ
Dry-cell batteries are the most common form of hazardous waste disposed of by Australian households, with 97% ending up in landfill. When batteries are sent to landfill, their casings disintegrate and the metals and chemicals used within the battery can leach into the surrounding environment. Preventing the batteries from going directly into landfill by participating in the battery recycling program will remove this risk.
Most major retailers now have battery recycling facilities in-store - including:
- Batteryworld
- Woolworths
- Coles
- Aldi
- K-Mart
- Officeworks
- Bunnings
