Tips
Follow these tips to keep lines moving and to keep you and our staff safe.
- Daily limits are in place per vehicle:
- 50 L or 25 cans
- 40 fluorescent tubes of CFL bulbs
- Sort materials into categories before visiting a Community Recycling Centre (keep batteries with batteries, paint with paint, etc.)
- Put all syringes and needles in a labelled and sealed container – we will not collect loose syringes and needles
- Put liquid or powder waste in a labelled and sealed container
- You may bring gas and oil but their container must not exceed 18 litres and the container cannot be returned
- Do not bring non-hazardous medical waste such as latex gloves, gowns, blood soaked linens, and IV tubing and bags – these are regular household garbage
Please note: Household hazardous waste drop-off locations are for Northumberland County residents only.
