Household hazardous waste is waste that has the potential to harm health and safety, or the environment. Hazardous waste includes items such as batteries, oil-based paint, motor oil, pesticides, poisons, drain cleaners, fuel, and bleach. Disposal of these items requires special care, so they can’t be included in regular garbage pickup. Household Hazardous Waste is accepted—free of charge—only by the Fundy Region HHW Depot at the Crane Mountain Landfill. 

Note, that all containers must be 20 litres or less, and you must bag and identify broken glass.
