Here are some rules to follow before going to PROXY CHIMIK:

1. Presentation

Bring liquid and solid substances separated from each other, in their original, well-closed packaging (not loose in a plastic bag). Make regular trips to PROXY CHIMIK.
The maximum (container) volume accepted is 45l per visit and per day, 30L for coating products, 10L for frying oil and fat and 5L for other chemical products. Any quantity greater than 45L (volume of the container) will be refused to ensure that other residents may also benefit from this local service.

2. Packaging of household waste oil and frying oils and fats

Frying and fondue oils: let them cool completely before pouring them into a bottle (preferably plastic) using a funnel. Close the bottle with its original cap.
Frying fat: let it cool to below 40° and then pour it into a bottle (preferably plastic) using a funnel or into a metal box with a lid.
Waste oil: keep the original packaging of new oil to pour used oil into or pour it into another clean plastic container.

3. Labelling

Write the name of the product on the packaging. Chemical waste that is labelled is chemical waste that will be processed correctly. Can't remember the product’s name? Talk to our chemists at PROXY CHIMIK. Tell them what the product was used for. They will then try to identify it and find the appropriate recycling and/or disposal channel for it.
