Household Hazardous Waste Day 2023

The City of Prince Albert will be hosting a Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Day on Saturday, September 16, 2023, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Municipal Service Centre (11, 38^th St E, Prince Albert). The Sanitation Division hosts this day annually to ensure residents have an opportunity to dispose of their Household Hazardous Waste safely. Residents should note the change of location for 2023. 

Household hazardous waste includes many items that people are storing in their basements, garages, kitchens, or bathrooms and are no longer needed. Hazardous items are often toxic or flammable, so extra care should be taken when disposing of them.

The public is encouraged to take advantage of the hazardous waste collection day by coming out and safely disposing of these unwanted or unusable items.

Anti-freeze, Adhesives, Aerosols, Automotive and Household Batteries, Cleaners, Corrosives, Fuels, Mercury, Oxidizers, Poisons, Paint Cans and Spray Paint, Pharmaceuticals, Solvents

Reminder: Please keep the labels on the materials you are bringing in. This helps to identify the substances and avoids the need for testing substances, so they are properly identified and disposed of.

• Electronics waste - SWEEP (Sask. Waste Electronic Equipment Program) – SARCAN
• Used oil, oil filters & containers,
