Where can I drop off my household hazardous waste?
Waste & Recycling Services with the Calgary Fire Department, offers year-round 
household hazardous waste drop-off locations (view the interactive map).
Residents can take their household hazardous waste at no extra charge to any of The City landfill Throw N' Go areas or designated fire stations with special storage depots. Once material has been accepted at these depots it cannot be released to the public.
This program is for residential household hazardous waste only. It is not available to business owners or industrial operators.
Please make sure your household hazardous waste is clearly labeled and sealed properly, if possible in the original containers. It's important because household hazardous waste pose a danger to our workers, your family, your pets, your neighbourhood and the environment. For more information on how to store this material, visit safely storing hazardous products.
