Household Hazardous Waste

What is Household Hazardous Waste?

If it’s corrosive, flammable or poisonous, it’s hazardous waste. These types of products contaminate water and landfills and should never be poured down the drain or put out with your regular household garbage. 


To help you dispose of these products safely, the Facility operates a year round Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and Material Recovery program to ensure responsible disposal of these potential harmful chemicals and compounds from your home.  Any household product with one or more hazard symbols may be brought to the Leduc & District Regional Waste Management Facility for proper disposal.


Tips to reduce Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)


Use a non-hazardous alternative:

  • Environmentally friendly and safer alternatives are available for household cleaning, home improvement and garden care. Most stores have a 'green area' for safer cleaning alternatives. Check labels to ensure these products have green based ingredients. 


Be a smart and wise consumer:

  • If you must purchase a hazardous product, purchase only what you need. If you can, avoid buying larger quantities.
  • Ensure that the product you purchase does what you want it to do before you purchase it. Once purchased, follow the instructions on the label for safe use, ventilation and storage.
  • Check the label for the type of hazardous waste and for instructions on how to dispose of any excess amount.


Provide any leftover products to someone who can use them:

  • Relatives, friends, neighbours, community groups and charitable organizations may be able to use some of your leftovers.


Avoid aerosols whenever possible:

  • Much of the aerosol product ends up in the air. Purchase safer alternatives.



IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

  • Always keep each material in its original labelled container. The label clearly identifies the ingredients and allows the landfill to properly dispose of the material. 
  • Store safely out of reach of children and pets. 
  • Do not mix products together.  A chemical reaction could occur, resulting in potential harm and severe ramifications.
