Household Hazardous Waste Collection Events - March 2021

Wyoming, ON - The County of Lambton and its partner Clean Harbors Canada Inc. will be holding the next Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program on Saturday, March 27, 2021. These popular events offer Lambton County residents an opportunity to dispose of household hazardous waste at no cost.

To provide additional opportunities for residents to safely dispose of their household hazardous waste, the County of Lambton and Clean Harbors Canada Inc. will also be holding hazardous waste collection events on the following dates:

• Saturday, April 24;
• Saturday, May 29;
• Saturday, June 26;
• Saturday, September 25; and
• Saturday, October 30

All events will be held at the Clean Harbors Lambton Facility (4090 Telfer Road, St. Clair Township) and will run from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

Additionally, in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, event attendees are asked to follow physical distancing and safety protocols, including the following:

• Package materials in disposable containers (i.e. cardboard boxes) as they will not be returned;
• Place materials in the trunk or back of their vehicle to maximize distancing for event staff when collecting items; and
• Remain in their vehicle at all times, as event staff will be removing materials from the vehicle.

"Corrosive, toxic, reactive and flammable materials will be collected at these events," says Matt Deline, Public Works Manager, County of Lambton.  "These items should never be placed in a regular landfill because they have the potential to injure workers and damage the environment."

Examples of these types of materials include:

Items NOT accepted include: PCBs, commercial, industrial, radioactive wastes, electronics, and explosives (flares and ammunition).
