Bruce County establishes household hazardous waste collection days for 2026

Household hazardous waste doesn't belong down the drain or in the garbage.

For that reason, Bruce County has established collection events throughout the county in 2026, where you can safely dispose of this waste material and keep harmful chemicals out of the landfills and waterways.

These events provide a convenient and environmentally-responsible way to dispose of common items, such as:
 

• Aerosols and solvents
• Batteries and anti-freeze
• Fertilizer and pesticides
• Fire extinguishers
• Fluorescent lights
• Fuel
• Household cleaners
• Paints and stains
• Pharmaceuticals
• Propane tanks
• Pool chemicals
• Used oil and filters

A complete list of accepted materials is available at www.brucecounty.on.ca/hazardouswaste.

There are 13 household hazardous waste collection days in the county this year. Residents may participate at any of the following locations:
