EPA’s Winter Clean Up Tips.

Looking to get a jump on Spring cleaning in Winter? EPA Victoria’s website has some handy hints on what to look out for before you start. It’s important to check the correct pathway for the disposal of items such as old paints, chemicals and asbestos.

All Victorians have a General Environmental Duty to take reasonable action to prevent pollution. If you’re hiring a skip bin check receipts to make sure they’re taking the waste to a licensed landfill or recycling facility. If you’re disposing of paint, drop it off at a Paint back facility and learn what to do if you encounter asbestos.

Check the EPA website before you start, and do your bit to prevent harm to our environment and your local community.

And if you encounter pollution, remember you can report pollution to EPA’s 24-hour hotline on 1300 372 842 or provide details online.
