Household Hazardous Waste

Dispose of hazardous household waste

Household hazardous waste must be disposed of safely and responsibly. Never pour hazardous waste down a drain or onto the ground, dump it into a storm sewer, place it in the garbage, or bury it. 

Improper disposal can allow hazardous substances to enter waterways or contaminate groundwater. If a product has a hazardous-product warning symbol, or you suspect it is hazardous, dispose of it safely and responsibly. 

Year-round drop-off options

Metro Vancouver’s Langley Recycling and Waste Centre accepts a wide range of hazardous and recyclable materials year-round.
