Household Hazardous Waste

Each year, the City of Montreal designates two days for HHW collection in Baie D’Urfé: One in the SPRING, one in the FALL. You can drop off your household hazardous waste from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Public Works building on the following dates:

  • May 11, 2024
  • September 14, 2024  

At these collections, you will be able to dispose of your electronics and use the Shred-it document shredding service.

If you miss these dates, you MUST go to an Ecocentre offered on the Island of Montreal. Please note that it is STRICTLY forbidden to leave any hazardous waste from the list below at the Public Works building!

 

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) is comprised of commonly used products or items that represent a hazard if placed in the garbage. Here are some examples:

  • Paints (latex, alkyd, enamel), stains, lacquer, primer, anti-rust, varnish, aluminum paint, acrylic sealant, wood preservatives, linseed oil
  • Motor oil, empty containers, filters
  • Car batteries (lead-acid)
  • Rechargeable batteries (Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, Li-ion, Pb)
  • Non-rechargeable batteries (AAA to D, alkaline)
  • Maintenance and cleaning products, degreasers, drain cleaners
  • Turpentine, Varsol, gasoline, fuels, thinners, alcohol, shellac
  • Pesticides and fertilizer
  • Pool care chemical products
  • Adhesives, tar, epoxy, stripper
  • Aerosols
  • Propane tanks
  • Mercury (thermometers)
  • Fluorescent tubes and compact fluorescent bulbs

When collected appropriately, HHW is sent to companies that specialize in their processing or recycling. For further information, consult the RECYC-QUÉBEC website.

The Montréal Agglomeration offers permanent collection of household hazardous waste (HHW) in all its ecocentres. You can bring your HHW in an individual container 19 litres (5 gallons) or smaller to any Ecocentre site.

Careful! Some products are not accepted! Check in the list what is accepted prior to going to an Ecocentre.
 

Recognizing Household Hazardous products

In our homes, we do not realize how many household hazardous products surrounds us in our everyday lives. These products need to be disposed through the Hazardous Waste collection or at the Ecocentres.

Consult the list to identify them.
