Hazardous and Special Products

Having ways for residents and businesses to properly disposing/recycling Household Hazardous Waste is essential to protecting Essex Windsor's:

1. Environment
2. Drinking water
3. Local Essex-Windsor Regional Landfill

Hazardous and Special Products (HSP) can be corrosive, flammable, explosive or poisonous. These items must not be consumed or placed in the garbage, recycling or any diversion program, or poured down the drain, toilet or sewer. When hazardous items are improperly disposed of, it will negatively affect the local environment and harms humans and animals in the Essex-Windsor region and beyond.

Note: Lithium-ion batteries can be a fire hazard and should NEVER be placed out for curbside collection (garbage, yard waste, green bin, or recycling). Lithium-ion batteries should always be dropped off at an EWSWA Depot (for free) to be recycled and disposed of properly. 

Visit one of three EWSWA Depots today to see how easy, convenient and worry free it is for you to do what’s right by recycling/disposing of your hazardous and special products safely at an EWSWA Depot.
