October Household Hazardous Waste Collection Events

Wyoming, ON - The County of Lambton and its partner Clean Harbors Canada Inc. will be holding one of their Household Hazardous Waste Collection events on Saturday, October 17, 2020. The popular events offer Lambton County residents an opportunity to dispose of household hazardous waste at no cost.

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, event attendees are asked to follow physical distancing 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 their vehicle.

The County of Lambton and Clean Harbors Canada Inc. will also be hosting an additional event on Saturday, October 31.

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

"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).
