ChemClear has teamed up with MobileMuster so waste holders can drop off old mobiles and accessories at the same time as their registered chemicals as well.

Collection of chemicals and old mobiles has been scheduled for WA in October and chemical users have until 31 August to register their unwanted products.

According to ChemClear, Western Australians have a strong commitment to recycling and keeping their land and waterways safe for future generations, and the organisation is keen to spread the word about the upcoming chemical clean up.

It’s pretty rare to visit a farm or property which does not have a few dozen used chemical containers lying around the place so the ChemClear collection is a fantastic way to have them removed safely.

The collection covers agricultural and veterinary chemicals which display the DrumMuster logo, have readable labels, are still in the original container, are not mixed with other chemicals and that are within two years of their expiry date.

For more details, visit www.chemclear.org.au or phone 1800 008 82.
