Household Chemical CleanOut

Household chemicals—such as cleaning products, motor oil and pesticides—can harm human health and the environment if placed in your bins or poured down the drain.

CleanOut events are held twice each year in Newcastle, and at other locations across NSW on specified dates. NSW residents can make use of any event, free of charge.

When is the next CleanOut?

The next event in Newcastle will be held on:

Date: Saturday 5 April 2025
Time: 9am to 3.30pm
Location: Newcastle TAFE Student Car Park, 266 Maitland Road (opposite Henry Street), Tighes Hill
