Business Hazardous Waste Items

Acceptable hazardous waste items and disposal costs
The cost for disposing of your hazardous business waste is determined by the size of container housing the waste, not by the volume of waste within the container. Hazardous waste materials such as wet cell batteries and fluorescent tubes have a set unit price.

Refer to the list below for hazardous waste materials and fees.

Payment is required upon drop-off of the hazardous waste. Payments can be made by credit card or debit - no cash payments.

Fees are subject to decrease depending on regulatory program changes by the Ministry of the Environment.
