Hazardous Waste
- Hazardous materials can be dangerous to people as well as the environment. Be sure to bring your hazardous products to the special depots so that they can be disposed of properly.
- The County of Huron operates a Household Hazardous Waste depot at the Mid-Huron Landfill Site. Contact the County of Huron at 519-482-7668 for more information. The Mid Huron Landfill Site is located at 37506 A Huron Road (Highway 8) near Holmesville.
- Some retailers take back some materials. For more information on the location and types of materials accepted visit this website.
- Agriculture and industry may produce the most hazardous waste by volume and mass, but the biggest threat to the majority of Canadians is our homes. Our closets, cupboards, basements and garages are full of hazardous products, which are also known as household hazardous waste. Products are considered hazardous when they are corrosive, reactive, flammable, toxic and/or radioactive.
- Dangers associated with a product can be reduced through careful shopping or by using safer alternatives. To get a list of safer alternatives, click here.Â
Bulky Waste
Some materials are just not made to be disposed of curbside. Whether you are a resident doing a spring clean up, a renovation project, or you have oversize items to dispose of, you can use a containerized service like those offered by Mars Environmental or you can bring it directly to the local landfill.

Your local landfill is:
