Household Hazardous Waste Events

Household Hazardous Waste Events allow you to safely drop off of materials that cannot be disposed of with your regular waste and recycling. Only materials from residential sources can be taken to a Hazardous Waste Event. Material from businesses are not accepted.

Residents of Minden Hills may now attend any Hazardous Waste Collection Event being held within Haliburton County. 

Please remain in your vehicle (staff will unload materials for you) and have your Waste Disposal Card ready to show.
