2026 Household Hazardous Waste Mobile Depot
The County of Lambton and Clean Harbors Canada Inc. is hosting a mobile Household Hazardous Waste collection event in Forest on Saturday, October 17, 2026.
The event is an opportunity for residents to dispose of their household hazardous waste at no cost.
"Corrosive, toxic, reactive and flammable materials will be collected at the mobile depot," said Matt Deline, Public Works Manager, County of Lambton. "These items should never be placed in a regular landfill because they have the potential to injure sanitation workers and the potential to damage our environment."
Examples of these types of materials include:
- Corrosive: batteries, drain cleaners, oven cleaners
- Toxic: pesticides, rat poison, cleaning fluids, pharmaceuticals
- Reactive: pool chemicals, ammonia, bleach, aerosols
- Flammable: gasoline, paints, BBQ starter, oils, solvents, propane cylinders
Sharps (hypodermic needles) and fluorescent lightbulbs are also accepted.
Items NOT accepted include:
- PCBs
- commercial, industrial, agricultural, or radioactive wastes
- tires
- explosives (flares and ammunition)
- electronics
- asbestos
- any containers weighing more than 25kg (55lbs).
To help make drop-off faster and easier, please package your waste items in disposable cardboard boxes, bags or containers if possible. Site staff will unload your waste in these packages, and they will not be returned.
For safety reasons, please separate lithium batteries from all other battery types prior to drop-off.
