THE NEXT HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE DAY IS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15

THE NEXT HOUSEHOLD HAZAROUS WASTE DAY IS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15

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. The next event will be held this Saturday, November 15, at SaskTel Centre parking lot (101 - 3515 Thatcher Avenue) from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Accepted Materials include:  pesticides, automotive oil, prescription medicine, batteries, aerosols, poisons, propane cylinders, household cleaners, and mercury-containing items.

For a complete list of accepted and non-acceptable materials, visit Saskatoon.ca and click on “H” for Household Hazardous Waste Days.

Please do not bring paint to Household Hazardous Waste Day. Leftover paint and empty paint cans are accepted without charge at all SARCAN recycling depots in Saskatoon. Find out what is accepted through SARCAN’s paint program at www.sarcan.ca/pages/paint.
