Household hazardous waste (HHW) is the unwanted poisonous, flammable, corrosive or reactive substances from our homes. These items can poison the environment if buried in a landfill.
Bringing HHW, batteries and e-waste to an Eco Station protects people and our environment. Drop-off is always free for residents.
Note: Eco Stations are only for the disposal and recycling of residential waste. Commercial clients with hazardous waste, batteries and e-waste must find alternate disposal and recycling options, such as Call 2 Recycle.

Batteries, no matter how big or small, should never go in the garbage. When incorrectly thrown away, they can - and do - cause fires at the Edmonton Waste Management Centre.
Batteries in your garbage can also ignite or explode, putting collectors and those who work at processing facilities at risk.
E-waste, or electronic waste, refers to unwanted electronic products like old computers, cell phones and home appliances.
E-waste contains metals like lead, mercury and cadmium that are harmful to the environment if buried in a landfill.
Batteries left in an electronic device can expand and explode during waste processing. Rechargeable devices, like e-readers, vape pens or anything you can recharge, have internal batteries that cannot be removed, but carry similar fire risk if not disposed of properly.
Bring anything with a battery or cord to an Eco Station. Except for items containing refrigerants, drop-off is always free.
