"I'll just store that spare paint in the garage for later…I'll need that one day" said everyone who's ever bought paint. Sound familiar? If 'later' never comes, drop off your old paint at your local CRC. It's free! Visit www.cleanout.com.au to find your nearest location.

Easter is an egg-cellent time to have a cleanout around the home. If you've got leftover paint, oil, gas bottles, batteries and fluoro globes, collect them up and drop them off for free at your local Community Recycling Centre. Remember to check the opening hours of your CRC before going, as some are closed on public holidays.
Visit www.cleanout.com.au for more info.

This Sunday our clocks turn back by an hour. Daylight savings is a great time to also check your smoke detectors and replace their batteries. Take your old batteries to a Community Recycling Centre or CleanOut event near you for safe disposal.
