Dysart hosts its second Household Hazardous
Waste Day on August 26, 2023
Improper disposal of household hazardous waste can contaminate our soil, water, forests,
air, and wildlife. Therefore, to help protect the environment, it is vital residents drop off
acceptable materials at Household Hazardous Waste Days.
The Municipality of Dysart et al is hosting a Household Hazardous Waste Day on Saturday,
August 26, 2023, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Harcourt Landfill, 1123 Packard Road,
Harcourt.
Household hazardous waste often has the corrosive, explosive, flammable, or poisonous
symbol on them, and includes aerosol cans (full or partially full); automotive fluids;
batteries - vehicle (automotive, marine, etc.); batteries - household (rechargeable and
single-use); cleaners (bleach, oven cleaner, etc.); compact fluorescent light bulbs; fertilizers;
finishing products (varnish, glue, etc.); fluorescent tubes; gasoline (containers NOT
returned); motor oil (must be capped); paint (latex and oil, full or partially full); pesticides,
fungicides, herbicides, insecticides; pool chemicals; propane cylinders; propane tanks; and
solvents (varsol, paint thinners, etc.).
Any resident of the County of Haliburton can attend the Household Hazardous Waste Day.
To participate, residents must show their valid Algonquin Highlands or Dysart et al or
Highlands East or Minden Hills landfill card. Residents must remain inside their vehicle at
the hazardous waste drop off. Event staff will unload residential household hazardous
waste.
Note, if you are attending an event outside of your regular municipality, only household
