THE NEXT HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DAY IS SATURDAY, AUGUST 16

Household hazardous waste requires proper disposal to reduce risks to humans and animals, and prevent pollution of our land, water, and air. These materials should not be placed in the garbage or recycling, poured down the drain or toilet, or released into the environment.

To ensure household hazardous materials are safely disposed of or recycled, the City coordinates regular Household Hazardous Waste Days for residents to drop-off these materials.  On August 16, and the days listed below, a temporary site is set up at Credit Union Centre parking lot (101 - 3515 Thatcher Avenue) from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Household Hazardous Waste Days:

Accepted Materials include:

- Pesticides
- Automotive oil
- Prescription medicine

Leftover paint and empty paint cans are accepted without charge at all SARCAN recycling depots in Saskatoon.
