Swan Hill Rural City Council’s upcoming ‘Detox Your ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾’ event has been cancelled.
The household chemical collection service was scheduled to come to Swan Hill on Saturday, 5 March from 9am to 12pm.
Council’s Director Infrastructure Svetla Petkova said the event was being held in partnership with Sustainability Victoria and due to a lack of local interest, it would not be going ahead.
“Unfortunately, due to a lack of registrations the event has been cancelled by Sustainability Victoria.
“In order to safely dispose of unwanted toxic chemicals at Detox Your ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ events a number of specialised chemists are required and unfortunately on this occasion this event was not deemed viable,” Ms Petkova said.
Detox Your ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ 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.
