Household Hazardous Waste (HHW)
HHW is any harmful substance that is considered corrosive, toxic, flammable, or reactive. See the list below for examples of items you may find around your house. Please do not dispose of any hazardous items in your regular garbage or down the drain.
No Charge for HHW. Bring them to our facility, or to a round up event and we will ensure they are handled correctly. With the assistance of a professional hazardous waste management company, we’ll keep it out of the landfill. No industrial hazardous waste accepted.
Computer Recycling
You can recycle your old computer system along with your HHW.

Rechargeable Batteries are recyclable. When you buy new rechargeable batteries, most stores will take your old batteries for recycling. Visit the Other Recycling page for a list of some of the companies who participate in battery recycling in the Fundy Region.
Motor Oil or Transmission Fluid
If you change the oil in your own automotive or recreational vehicle, you can return your used oil to facilities throughout the region. Under the Used Oil Program, businesses that sell oil are required to either accept used oil, or must arrange with another nearby facility to take back used oil. There is no charge for this program.
Information about the Used Oil Program is also available on the Department of the Environment and Local Government’s website, by emailing uop/pghu@gnb.ca, or by calling 506 453-7945.
