More than 30 residents came to the two hour Detox your Home event held on Saturday. The event encouraged residents to dispose of common highly toxic household chemicals without harming your health.
Greater Shepparton City Council in partnership with Sustainability Victoria, encouraged residents to take the opportunity to get rid of unwanted – and potentially dangerous – items like pesticides, detergents and weed killers.
For more information:
Detox your Home is administered by Sustainability Victoria in partnership with local governments and is funded by the Victorian landfill levy. The products collected are recycled for recovery and diverted from landfill.
