To help protect our environment, hazardous products cannot be disposed of in regular garbage – they require special disposal at the Yarmouth County Solid Waste Park. A product is considered household hazardous waste (HHW) if it bears one of the symbols shown here:
Or if words such as Danger, Poisonous, Caution, or Warning appear on the label. Some examples are:
- large propane tanks
- motor oil and other automotive fluids
- pool chemicals
- pesticides
Note: empty, dry paint cans can go in the garbage, with covers removed.
Please drop off these products at our permanent household hazardous waste depot at:
