There are six steps to the program:

Step 1:

Take an inventory of your chemicals, including:

• manufacturer’s name
• product name
• size of the container (eg 20 litres)
• an estimation of the remaining quantity in that container (eg 1/4 full, 1/2 full, full etc)
• the condition of the container (eg good, leaking, fragile etc)

If the chemical is unknown, your inventory should include:

• size of the container (eg 20lt)
• an estimation of the remaining quantity in that container (eg 1/4 full, 1/2 full, full etc)
• any identifiable indicators available.

All successful registrations are acknowledged by email or post.  A reference number relating to each of your Group 1 and 2 chemical registrations will be provided.

Step 3:

Continue to store the chemicals you have registered with ChemClear safely and securely.

An appropriate quantity of storage stickers will be sent out by post, one month after your registration with ChemClear.  These stickers will display your registration reference number and are provided to place on the containers you have registered for disposal.  These stickers will aid safe storage and identify the chemicals to your employees, auditors and others as being registered for disposal.

Step 4:

ChemClear will contact you directly to advise the location and date of the collection point in your local government area.  If you have registered any Group 2 classified chemicals you will be provided with a quotation on a per lt/kg basis for the collection and disposal of these products.

All chemicals that have been booked for disposal through ChemClear remain in the custody of the registrant.  Storage and management of these chemicals is the responsibility of the registrant until they are handed over to the ChemClear retrieval team on the day of the collection.

Collections are scheduled in local government areas on a 2-3 year state cycle or when demand in registrations supports a state or local regional collection.

Step 5:

When a collection is scheduled in your area ChemClear will contact you and provide the following information:

• the address of the collection site
• a date for the collection
• an appointment time to deliver the chemicals to our team

Step 6:

• Prepare your chemicals to be transported to the collection point.
• Deliver your chemicals to the retrieval team at the nominated site in your local government area on the day scheduled.
