Information for Residents

Household Hazardous Waste products


Hazardous products are prevalent in many households. Many products used in our homes and gardens have dangerous characteristics. When these products are no longer useful they should be disposed of properly to ensure people and the environment are protected.

Not allowed  These products should not be disposed of in landfills or emptied into sewer systems.

Household hazardous products in Canada display one or more of the following symbols:

Corrosive

Corrosive – damages surfaces, skin and other human tissues (rust removers, alkaline cleaning fluids and old batteries).

Flammable

Flammable – products and fumes that burn easily (painting wastes, degreasers, and other solvents).

Explosive

Reactive/Explosive – reacts violently when mixed with other chemicals, or when placed under pressure or heat (aerosols).

Toxic/Poison

Toxic/Poison – coming into contact with, inhaling or ingesting these materials can cause serious health issues (materials containing heavy metals like mercury, lead or cadmium).


Precautions


When bringing household hazardous waste to a round-up or collection site keep materials in their original containers; if cracked or broken, place the container in a leak-proof package and label it. Containers of unidentified/unknown chemicals should be taken to a collection site and staff advised. Include containers with product warning symbols or precautions about use of the product or instructions on disposal of the container.
