How to safely dispose of gardening chemicals

Safely dispose chemicals used to control weeds, pests and other outdoor nuisances, for free at a household hazardous waste drop-off site:

  • Designated fire station
  • City Eco Centre – if you bring with other garbage, charges will apply.

Hazardous outdoor chemicals include:

  • Herbicides (weed killers)
  • Fertilizer
  • Insecticides (insect killers)
  • Pesticides (including mouse poison)
  • Any container with a hazard symbol on it (flammable, poisonous, etc.)

Special instructions

  • Use original containers where possible, or use a sealed, spill-proof container and make sure it is clearly labelled.
  • You can bring up to 20 litres of household chemicals per week.
  • Never flush chemicals down your toilet, sink or drain as they harm the environment and/or the pipes in your home.
