City of Saskatoon introduces weekly Household Hazardous Waste disposal

The City of Saskatoon is pleased to announce a new, convenient way for residents to dispose of their Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) safely and responsibly. Starting June 5, 2024, residents can drop off their HHW every Wednesday at the Material Recovery Centre.

The new weekly collection program is designed to make it easier for residents to dispose of items that should not be thrown in regular garbage or recycling bins due to their potential harm to the environment and public health. Accepted items include aerosols, automotive fluids, cleaners, cylinders, light bulbs, yard chemicals, and more. Complete lists of acceptable and unacceptable items are available at saskatoon.ca/hazardouswaste.

HHW will be accepted every Wednesday from 8 am to 4:45 pm at the Material Recovery Centre, located at 42 Valley Road.

The City encourages residents to take advantage of this free service to ensure these materials are handled in an environmentally responsible manner.

Reminders: 

• The program is open to residents with household products only – no commercial loads will be accepted.
• Containers used for transporting HHW may not be returned to the participants.
• Please ensure all containers are safely sealed and contents are clearly marked. 
• To avoid potentially long line-ups and wait times, ask the Waste Wizard at saskatoon.ca/wastewizard to find other means of recycling and safe disposal. 
• There are no public washrooms available at the Material Recovery Centre.

Thank you for helping us put waste in the right place!
