Hazardous Household Waste
Looking for a safe and responsible way to dispose of your household hazardous waste?
Find available drop-off locations and learn more!
Household hazardous waste refers to common household products that can pose a risk to the environment and human health if they are not disposed of properly. These include, for example, certain cleaning products, paints, solvents, and batteries.
To prevent contamination, these products must never be disposed of in nature, poured down drains, or placed in regular garbage or recycling collections.
Instead, household hazardous waste must be brought to one of the designated drop-off locations.
Ecocentre Drop-Off
You can safely dispose of your household hazardous waste at local ecocentres or at any ecocentre within the Montreal area.
The closest ecocentres within the Montreal area are located in LaSalle and Saint-Laurent.
