Note: There is a 20 litre maximum per visit and no commercial hazardous waste can be accepted Household Hazardous Waste Tips · Use environmentally friendly alternatives. · Never mix different products - explosive or poisonous chemical reactions may occur. · Before arriving at the depot, make sure all materials are in their original container or that the contents are clearly marked on the container. Be sure all containers are capped securely. · Waste materials are not emptied from containers so containers cannot be returned. Please remember... · Hazardous products can and do mix when placed in the garbage truck. Just like the home, the mixing of chemicals can cause adverse reactions and this can lead to injuries to the people who collect your waste. For the safety of others, please ensure that these materials never make it into the truck! · Household Hazardous Waste can result in the pollution of soil, ground water, rivers and lakes when disposed of improperly.
