Household Hazardous Waste

There are many options to properly dispose of Household Hazardous Waste (HHW). There is no charge to drop off HHW materials; however, maximum quantity limits will apply.


Permanent Household Hazardous Waste Depots

Our permanent HHW Depots are located at five of our County waste facilities; Aberfoyle, Belwood, Elora, Harriston, and Riverstown.
