Here’s how you can dispose of your household hazardous waste in Ottawa this spring and summer
Ottawa residents will have nine opportunities to safely throw out their household hazardous waste materials this spring and summer.
The City of Ottawa will host drop-off events to give residents a chance to safely dispose of their household hazardous waste between April 21 and Nov. 2. The first household hazardous waste drop-off event will be held on Sunday, April 21 at RCGT Park on Coventry Road.
In 2023, the city says nearly 15,600 residents attended the nine one-day drop-off events, disposing of approximately 503 tonnes of household hazardous waste. The items included 42,300 CFL light bulbs and fluorescent tubes, 10 tonnes of household batteries, 17 tonnes of aerosols and 200 tonnes of paint.
